Lima April 26th
Well there´s not too much to do in Lima of 8 million people. driving in the previous day we passed a shanty town of over 300 thousand people established in the laste 70´s. Over the past couple of years they have running water electricty and even satelight tv.
Our hotel is in the middle of town a couple of blocks from the Palaza des Armas, the neighbour hood almost immediately becomes extremely poor and not very safe to travel alone at night. Qutie a difference from the resort towns like Cusco and Ariquipa with armed guards in every park.
There is a nice area that we visited towards the beach called mira flores (not sure on the spelling here) there are beautiful parks, nice resteraunts that over look the beach and shopping for those so inclined.
One of the coolest things to see is an open gallery at the main park that is an outdoor exibition of photographs from around the world and a giant map displaying where the 60 odd photographs were taken.
The night life in Lima can be exhusating with sprawling night areas competing for whities patronage. If some one tells you Tequilla rocks is a good place to go, give it a miss as it is free for females and charge a hefty cover charge for men. Most of if not all the Peruvian ladies are looking to make some money off whitie.
