Lima

Our first day began at 630 AM to the sounds of birds singing. Slightly overcast and 22 with a projected high of 26. A fabulous breakfast of fresh fruit, rolls, coffee and eggs. We met the rest of our group, they hale from Britain. Now off for a tour with John Alfredo.

It has been a full and exciting day touring the historical district of Lima!

It is quite something to experience history from the 2nd century to present day. To stand atop a Huaca and see the modern skyline surrounding you is breathtaking. A Huaca is a pre Inca pyramid, at the Huaca Pucllana we were able to the remains of a femur. 

The Museo Larco takes you from the pre Columbian to the metal era of Lima, not to mention a collection of erotic pottery from the Moche era.

The Iglesias de Santo Domingo and the convent revealed more art, in tile work, paintings and statues. 

A delicious lunch in the plaza of roasted chicken and potatoes, sample one of the more than 400 varieties available. 

Our tour group is Anne and I from Canada and then 7  from the UK ( 1 poor husband).

Needless to say these are the highlights and we are "pooped", but in the best way possible.

Buenas Noches. Here is a pic of our group.
