Il 7
aprile
Lima,
Peru
Getting
to our lodge in the rain forest four days ago required a flight from
Lima to Iquitos, a bus ride from the Iquitos Airport to the dock, and
a 45 minute ride on the Amazon...so this morning, we reversed the
operation as it was a travel day back to Lima. We had a quick
afternoon tour of the historical downtown area with its charming
central plaza, impressive cathedral, and a remarkable library of
ancient texts at the monastery of Saint Francis in a room so
protected that only the monks can gain full access. This is a city with a "European feel" although, clearly, it has the energy of a bustling and proud Peruvian landmark and would be well worth a longer visit on another trip. We had dinner at a local restaurant, followed by an evening at the hotel
where I discovered one of this country's contributions to
mankind...the Pisco Sour!
I had a Pisco Sour many years ago, but in Chile.... Wonderful pictures! have fun!!
