After a full day of flying, we finally arrived in Lima and took a taxi to our hostel in the Miraflores district. After a quick tour of the common areas, we were shown our private room. We passed out and woke up around 1pm Tuesday.

The owner of our hostel Francis showed us around the city on a little map. He highlighted everything and even added little red X's for areas we shouldn't go (especially after dark). Tyler and I went to Pardo's Chicken for lunch and then wandered down to the coast.

After grabbing some sandwiches, we went in search for a bar or something to do at night. We failed at finding anything to do, but it was a nice walk anyway.
It is very common in Lima for cars to honk... AT EVERYTHING! ALL THE TIME! It is often used as a turn signal when turning right from the left lane, or for asking tall, white Americans if they want a taxi, or just in anger when a bus slows to pull someone in.
pretty much the most hilarious sign
trash can full? no problem!
Haha! Those last two pictures made me laugh out loud for real! Glad you're blogging. :)
ReplyDeletewe were laughing a lot at the horn sign. I've never heard so many car horns! it's insane. it's like their blinker. oh, and their back-up beeps on trucks... it's like the ice cream man is going to back into you.
