Lima City Tour



Today we will tour Lima. 
This is the lobby of our hotel, Jose Antonio that we were very happy to get to last night. 

Lovers park. I lost few pics here maybe I can find them later. 

Inca kola is yellow tastes like bubble hum is more popular than coca cola. 
An archiogical site devoted by the inca people made of sand and seashells. 
Huaca is an archialogical site. 
Tifa is a fusion of Chinese and Peruvian food. Voting is maditory every 4 years. 
Education is free. 1 mayor for each district. 300 or so Mayors. Pop 11 million. 
Art museum of Lima

Went in a Franciscan church. Saw the bones of pesants who wanted to be buried on sacred grounds. Richer had their own tombs.
This our guide, Washhington— named after George!
  
Another guide, Milagro.  

Plaza major had the changing of the guards.

We exchanged dollars fo soles at the exchange rate  2.75 soles to $1.

We had ceviche for lunch—I've had it several times and each time it has been different. 
Our afternoon will be spent at the Larco, with pre-Incan culture, unlike the church we will be able to take pictures. 
The earring plugs were pretty wild  
Some of the Jewelry looks like what we would wear today.  
Aren't the bathroom signs cute?
Time for an afternoon coffee. 
Randy enjoyed the Panther motorcycle. 
Inn the shopping area. 
We saw these alpaca weavers in the the Alpaca store. 

That evening we were treated to a Pisco Sour, a popula drink. If you shout, "Yapa"  it means you like it and they may give you more! We also learn that Mastiso is a mixture of Spanish and Incan. 

Some of the group went on a planned dinner R & I went out in our own, did a stroll of the park and has an excellent meal at Alfresco.
