Lima, Peru






We can't believe our trip/adventure/expedition is almost over!! The tour ended Sunday am, or really Saturday night. Most of the group had a 6>30 flight to Miami, but we're staying until Wednesday. Yesterday, Monday, we walked probably 8 miles. Poor Brett!! We went from the community we're in (there are 14 in Lima), Miraflores, down to the beach, along the Lima equivalent of PCH for a couple of miles, until we came to a big gate of some kind. Along the way we saw some surfers going out, a military training facility ON THE BEACH, and sort of met/talked with a fisherman, as Brett inspected their handmade wooden boats. We came back through two other communities - Chorillos, and Barranco. Great early dinner at a little caf right across the street from our hotel, and back later for Pisco Sours!!!
It's a busy city, VERY cloudy/overcast. We're told that it is ike this 8 months a yar, and then it rains. But it's easy to get around, and is friendly. Warnings on the map about pirates, but it hasn't seemed pirate/like at all. What fun! ! !
Photos when we get home!!!!
Adios!!!!
