During the first couple of days of our stay, Nate and I took a trip to Peru's capitol, Lima. Here we are in the main plaza, Plaza de Armas (the above picture is in front of the capitol building aka: palacio gobierno, where Francisco Pizzaro once resided)
Heavily Spanish influenced, this city has many original churches and buildings from the Spanish conquest era. We visited the franciscan Church and the catacombs beneath the cathedral.
During Nate's brief visit, he was able to check out the "bio-feria" farmer's market and was impressed by the variety and massive size of the organic produce. The aroma of herbs, fresh veggies and coffee was all very intoxicating and inviting!
At the local park near my family's residence. We enjoyed the strong, equatorial sun for only 15 minutes at a time (wow, it is powerful)! In February, the weather is hot and humid (like 85*/65%), yet it never rains in Miraflores.
