One of the big attractions in Miraflores is Larco Mar, which is a large mall in the side of the cliffs overlooking the ocean.  It is a popular spot for not only shopping and eating but also for clubbing in the evenings.  Around the mall along the cliffs are a number of parks and a large field that is the launching point for parasailing.

We spent a good part of the day in the area.  The mall is very cool, but it's a mall, not exactly a reason for visiting Peru.  The surrounding parks are very scenic and many people were taking in the tranquility on this Saturday.  Unfortunately, the weather did not play nice and we were unable to parasail.

One of the days adventures was a tremor that shook Lima.  We were in the mall at the time and since it's built in the side of a cliff, everyone inside was pretty freaked out.  Most locals and store owners run up to the top to get outside and away from the mall.  Fortunately it was just a tremor.

In the evening we hit up Barranco.  This part of town has a main bar street full of nightspots frequented by both locals and tourists.  Good times.  Now it's time to catch a cab to the airport and officially finish the trip.  Can't say I'm looking forward to that...
