Started my time in Lima the way I start most cities; wandering the streets aimlessly. My expectations for Lima were pretty low. Most people I had talked to said Peru was great but that Lima… kind of sucked. Apart from the downright oppressive weather I’m really liking the city. One of my roommates and I stopped in at a coffee shop on our corner, Kaldi’s Coffee, and then strolled around Miraflores. It’s got a great central park area, a lot of people were out and about, there seemed to be a lot of good restaurants and cafes around. And it’s just a couple of blocks off the beach. We walked up to La Mar Cebichería for lunch with was killer good. Came home in the afternoon to escape the heat and then in the evening walked over to Faro de la Marina to watch the sunset with everyone. This was just gorgeous. Oh, and I saw the coolest thing I’ve seen in all my travels… a skateboarding dog! Afterwards some of us went for sushi at Makoto and then I called it a reasonably early night.
