Bad Gringo

Im a bad gringo... While walking to the bus station for my all day ride to Lima I encountered an old begger. She asked for money and I politely refused. At this time the lady excliamed "Malo Gringo"! Also at this time a Peruvian woman was passing by and heard the exchange. She promptly told the old begger off in spanish. Something I wanted to do but lacked the vocabulary. After getting over the initial shock and subsequent anger of the insult, the kind Peruvian woman and I smiled at eachother and both had a good laugh...
