I have been thinking about these past five weeks as I prepare mentally to leave in 2 days. Now, being slightly more able to contrast the two countries, I will note a few things:<br><br>Peru seems to be a bit more design conscious, preserving indigenous crafts well and paying more attention to detail in restaurant. That said, neither country is a world leader in fashion or design. Shopping has been affordable ...

Part of our tour of Lima was strolling about the city. We ran into these guys (see first pic). The middle kid shouted out, "Hello! Hello!", and I replied with "Hola! Hola!". From there, it was an exchange of his broken English versus my broken Montebello influenced Espanol. I think he got the better of me.<br><br>After a few blocks, we ended up in our first Peruvian ruin, Huaca Pucllana. According to what I ...

Salutare tuturor!<br><br>Cu toate ca suntem deja acasa, mai avem de povestit ceva despre ultima locatie si anume Lima.<br>Am parasit cu greu capiatala andinismului, orasul Huaraz, ( in America de Sud se foloseste termenul de andinism, care vine de la Muntii Anzi), ne-am deplasat cu autocarul celor de la Movil Tours, bilet cama - 65 soles.<br>Dimineata, la ora 6, am ajuns la Lima. Am mai asteptat inca o ora in autogara, sa se lumineze afara, si am luat un taxi ...

... a few more souvenirs. After a short nap for me and computer time for Bob, we walked along the Pacific through several parks with dramatic drops to the ocean below. Lovers' Park has a huge statue of embracing lovers and curved, tiled walls covered with sentiments of amour. Then we went back to the hotel to get ready for our early (5 AM!) flight to Cuzco. There was a group of young women from Minneapolis who asked ...

Sixteen students and myself arrived safely last night in Lima.  One student and I got stuck going through an extra scan so the rest of the students went ahead of us.  But when the student and I walked out of customs, everyone was gone.  We looked around, didn't see the group, didn't see our tour guide, so we just started walking.  The student suggested we look outside and there they all were but they hadn't found the tour guide either.  I told ...

... area called Tanta which is owned by a famous Peruvian chef called Gaston someone or other. It was brilliant. Tried anticuchos (cow's heart) which was actually really nice and a dish called lomo which is typically peruvian. That same night went out in Barranco with load of folk from the hostel and it was a riot. I initiated some downing of rum in the hostel and at the end of the night the last people standing were myself, an ...

... I used to live there, near Meadowbrook Mart.&#8221;<br><br> &#8220;Meadobrook Mart?&#8221; I immediately tense up. Yeah, I know Meadowbrook Mart, know it well. Is this guy following me? Am I about to be set up on some scam again? Drug-induced paranoia takes over and taints the whole conversation and a possible friendship. <br><br>I promise Rosa I&#8217;ll call her when I get back from Cuzco. I never saw her again.
