We are staying in Miraflores, the nicest area of Lima, and it's clear that the district stands apart from the rest. The people dress well and cars are bustling on every street. Today, we walked down to a mall that's built into the cliffs alongside the Pacific coast and it was beautiful. There were about ten paragliders floating around on the coa...

We arrived in Lima late last night. We finally got to our hotel around midnight. The boys and I were exhausted and we all fell into bed. Weīre staying at a little bed and breakfast place that has treated us like family. It is run by an older man and his wife and they are wonderfully helpful. Today we had an interesting time walking around Mirafl...

I managed to pick up a fresh cold while in Cusco and hence had to put off my trip....

Well, I arrived in Lima and found myself at an expensive but overpriced hostel. I would later learn this is the Milflores (an area of Lima)standard! I got up early the next day and began tackling the lo...
