Ave 28 de Julio 1088 Lima, Peru, 01, 511-241-4050
Here again An incredible place this = the city is twice the size of the whole of NZ = traffic is horrendous but so entertaining so long as you don`t have to drive. There is an expression here that if you want to get to work on time it is better to hire an ambulance with siren going!! Pretty hot and the exhaust fumes almost overwhelming walking on the street. Excessively dry = the last time they had 4 consecutive days of rain was in 1983 and people don`t know how to use umbrellas. Very green t...
Lima, Peru mbrinsdonAfter a 13hr flight and 4.5 movies later we arrive in Lima. Some time spent sweating at the baggage belt ,wondering if our bags also made the 13hr flight, we went on to be met by our lovley taxi driver. Lima is stifling and even more so as we are wearing jeans and jumpers! Have realised my weather assessment is all wrong and I don't have a pair of shorts in my big bag......! Our hotel is nice and does the trick, but we were facing the main road and tooting goes on until late in Peru.

... couple of hours getting currency exchanged and trying to track down a SIM card or phone card or get internet access to let everyone know we were here. We finally gave up and cashed in our drink coupons for a pisco sour at the hotel bar...very sour indeed but it might grow on me. <br><br>Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, keep em coming!
Lima, Peru annahennes... were welcomed back in with open arms - literally from Paulo, the owner who showed us around before!<br><br>Phil, a friend of mine from college, is living in Lima so hanging out with him almost everyday during our stay was wonderful. From just chatting over some Pisco at the rooftop bar of the hostel, to finding a small market and enjoying his amazing cooking it was all a great time and comforting to be around a familiar face. Thanks Phil!<br><br ...

Belo Horizonte, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil footballskool... on our way to the farm. After 10 minutes or so of viewing gorgeous mountains in the distance and green countryside, we started down a rocky and bumpy dirt road. I wound my window up to decrease the dust and looked out. My friends, the cows, were there and a couple were even crossing the road as we drove by! Eléida had said that this was a ´´small´´ farm...now while the building itself is small, the amount of land they own is vast! At the house ...
Caconde, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil redwoodm... restaurants, even a McDonald, a huge Cinema complex, stores, and lets not forget, the famous Wong grocery store. That's where we proceeded to do our grocery shopping. <br><br>People here in Lima eat quite late at night which is around 7 to 9 o'clock pm. Too late for me. Around 5:00pm, we prepared a nice BBQ. Big huge sausages, which Justin bought ...

Belo Horizonte, Brazil rese_ma... to a little school that they have there. The children wanted you to take their picture so they could see it.
