We left Bogota last night. Great experience, but we were ready to leave. Lima was a just a 3 hour flight away. Peru provided a breath of fresh air. Lima has much more of a tourist industry than Bogota, and English is more prevalent. Our hotel is located just outside the Merifloras district. Merifloras is a tourist area consisting of a small beach, shops, restaurants, and malls. The main mall is located on the side of a cliff over the ocean. Great views. The mall is decent, but very westernized. Many of the same shops in Lima are also at summerset mall in Troy, Mi.
On the way back we found some local shops and
picked up some handmade trinkets. Tonight we are going to search out a more local establishment for dinner. Maybe we can stay out a little late and sleep in (seems to be the tradition in South America). It's the weekend, so no business until Monday.
