¡Hoy es martes meditativo!       (Today is meditative Tuesday!)

La fecha es el dos (2) de julio del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is July 2, 2024.)

El dicho de la semana es:  

Pueblo chico, infierno grande.

(The saying of the week is:       Small town, large hell.)

This Peruvian proverb highlights the unpleasantness of living in a small town where everybody knows one another. Due to the abundance of gossip and lack of privacy, life can feel like hell.

Practice saying this phrase whenever you visit a small town.

¡Que tengas un martes minúsculo!       (May you have a tiny Tuesday!)

L. A. Feliz
