Peru

Today we started our adventure with an argument on blinds and heat transfer vs ventilation and blocking airflow. In the end, the correct answer was we needed to keep our blinds shut all day AND get a fan for the bedroom if we wanted to sleep better.

Once that was settled, we attended a free walking tour of Lima old town and enjoyed buildings from the golden, colonial, and modern era. We learned a lot about how much Peru hates Chile and how many Peruvian statues, artifacts, and naval ships have been stolen by Chile.

We also learned that many Chinese immigrants came to Peru and how there are Chinese Peruvian fusion restaurants called Chifa. On our walking tour, we met Carolina from Spain and spent the rest of the evening sitting in a park with her and walking down town. Eventually we hit a Chifa restaurant and enjoyed the fusion food.

Also Mary finally found tomato juice, which hasn’t been located since Santiago.
