Mike Pool is an american citizen living in Texas. In the 1950's, young Mike travels to Perú and works as a teacher at Colegio América in Bellavista, Callao. In April 1857 the Provincia Litoral del Callao became Provincia Constitucional. In 1957, during the Centennial celebrations, Mike had the opportunity to witness the special processions in Bellavista and took several photographs. Here you can see some of them.
