Today we left the apartment fairly early, after a delicious breakfast of eggs mixed with "typical Peruvian sausage" and fruit/yogurt.
On our way to our tour bus, Patrick made a new friend at the bank.
The place we are staying is in a great location,
close to so many restaurants as well as parque kennedy, where the city tour began. We made it to the tour bus just in time.
We had a great time getting to see the miraflores district where we are staying, as well as downtown Lima.
During the bus tour, we visited the Cathedral de Lima, which is the oldest cathedral in all of south America!
No cathedral is complete without some skulls and baby coffins.
Also in the cathedral square, we met a dog wearing glasses...
... a lady selling galletas (but I wasn't allowed to stop and buy one:( )
And lots and lots of postcards.
Later, we found the "park of love" complete with dozens of lovestruck teens kissing in the corners.
There were tons of hangliders and surfers at the beach. Although it was pretty overcast today, it is always gorgeous at la playa!
Overall, a fabulous day!
The most fabulous part, you ask? The food of course!! And here you thought this post was finally almost over.
Ever had a chicharron sandwich and a naranja, limon, & manzanita jugo? No? Well I HIGHLY recommend it. Incredible!
But say you are still hungry. Maybe a stop at pescados capitals for some world famous ceviche? Okay, okay, fine. (so fresh and flavorful!)
And for dinner? Let's just say we were adventurous.
Beef heart anticuchos and 21-day-old crispy suckling pig, followed by crema volteada (like flan but 100x better)
Happy hubby. Seriously such incredible food.
Oh yes, and a limonada por mi.
So now I'm stuffed, tired and ready for our next adventure. We head to cusco in the morning to begin our journey to macchu pichu! Wish us luck (still not totally sure we have plane tickets) and that we don't get altitude sickness!
Location:Bellavista,Lima District,Peru

That first picture is HEEELARIOUS! The skulls and baby coffins are creepy. The baby pig you ate makes me want to cry. But it sounds like an awesome adventure! Party on!
