Lima, Peru

After leaving the beach house behind, we drove north to Lima. Andreas and I were pleasantly surprised by Lima. It is right on the coast with big cliffs (think Southern California cliffs). It is full of good restaurants and large public spaces. Our first night we went to Jose’s house and indulged in something we have really been missing... SETTLERS OF CATAN! Andreas won of course, but I was a very close second. We spent the next day lounging by the pool at an exclusive sports club and Lima’s only private beach! Thanks Samoa for getting us in. We spent another day on a walking tour that took us to a rooster breeder for cock fights (they don’t fight them there). Apparently the winners sell for around $2,500 USD! We do not support cock fighting... but those were some pretty huge and mean looking roosters. Our last night in Lima we went to the movie theater and watched Ready Player One (in English with Spanish subtitles). It was great catching up with Jose, getting to know Samoa, and experiencing Lima through the eyes of a local.Read more
