Exploring Lima was an adventure – we walked for miles checking out the artwork and great food.
-
- My tandem paraglide along the cliffs of Miraflores in Lima.
-
- Parque del Amor! There is a kissing contest here every Valentine’s Day.
-
- Buena vista – no kidding. I’m drinking lucuma juice, very healthy according to the Incas.
-
- Huaca Pucllana, adobe ruins right in Lima from 200 AD.
-
- These small adobe bricks made up a large pyramid, an area for elite clergy.
-
- These clay pots contain human sacrifices. Grim history.
-
- Colorful Lima waterfront sculpture.
-
- Political signs are PAINTED on buildings, and stay there even if the politician loses, until the next cycle.
-
- Interesting pottery at the Larco Museum.
-
- The artsy Barranco neighborhood.
-
- My favorite mural in Lima.
-
- Do you think the artist might live behind that door?
-
- Even Liman police have to check their Facebook account.
-
- Limans in line at the national bank to cash their monthly retirement checks. Wow.
-
- Tilework along the malecon, which stretches for 6 miles along the cliffs.
-
- Lima beans ARE originally from Lima, Peru, where they are pronounced just like the city. Interesting fact: they are poisonous when raw. Cyanide!
-
- Guinea pigs – it’s what’s for dinner.
-
- Dinner at the fabulous Astrid & Gaston restaurant, where we finally tried guinea pig. Yes, it tastes like chicken.
