He loved the beach-had never been outside of Lima before, and he couldn’t get enough of the water. Captivated, I invited him to come to the beach with me and some friends an hour north of Lima. My first impression, as we started talking, was that Marco really is the ultimate street teen boy from a poor neighborhood, the type who would wander the streets looking for fun, trouble or opportunity with no particular preference. The park was crowded with tourists and hustlers, many of whom were hot as hell, but Marco stood out in the crowd for sure an adorable boy in a baseball cap-for a moment-eclipsed everything. I met Marco walking through a park in the Miraflores neighborhood of Lima, Peru. Marco would be adorable in anybody’s book, regardless of what type they’re into.
