The Adventure Begins...in Lima, Peru

After spending several weeks moving out and booking our plane tickets we finally took off on Monday Night. We flew from NYC to Lima, Peru where we spent a few days checking out the town and its many museums. We visited the Museu Larco which has too many pieces of pottery to actually look at. However some of them are funnier than others. Here are a few examples…. (censored but for those over 21 http://museolarco.perucultural.org.pe/igal_er.shtml) We also checked out the center of town including the Governmental Palace and the magnificent cathedral. While we were there, we actually got caught up in a protest of who knows what. Our guide the next day told us that this political party protests something almost every week. We didn’t know that and the trucks and riot gear wouldn’t have told you that it was peaceful. Besides interesting face decorations, riots, we found french fries delivery quite interesting... The virgin is crowned with a lama instead of fames - the sames in Spanish - just a "creative" interpretation... In Lima we loved the local cebiche - nice spicier take on what we know a serviche, and salsipapas - super popular fast food cobnsisting of a mound of french friesd covered with sliced hot-dogs, fried egg, and whtver else was around...
