My brother Les arrived yesterday and had dinner with my group last night before everyone left. I was glad that he was able to meet the people I've been working with for the past 2 weeks.
Today we woke up and went for a walk alone the waterfront here in Lima. There are several parks along the path, one of which is called "Love Park." There is a big statue of 2 people kissing and the benches are colorfully decorated with love sayings and quotes in Spanish. The park overlooks the ocean and is quite beautiful.
We then walked to a huge, modern outdoor mall that also overlooks the water. The mall (and a lot of Lima) is very Americanized. They have some upscale shops, a Starbucks (of course I had to have a latte) and a Hooters! .
For lunch, we had ceviche (a really good Peruvian dish of raw fish cooked by the citrus of lime juice) in a restaurant overlooking the water.Early Monday morning we are flying to Cuzco to start the next part of our adventure. We will be spending 8 days traveling around the central and southern parts of Peru.
