Having a helados good time

---

Another nice day in Miraflores. We had a shopping list before returning to the high places, so attended to those this morning (new flip-flops and haricuts for Abbey and Harold, more sunscreen, a t-shirt for Pauline). Then helados (ice cream) in the plaza. Ice cream is one of the things that Limeños don't do as well as Santiaguiños. Next a bit more shopping, lunch and then into the hotel for homework for Abbey and reading/naps for adults. Tonight we will get out to see a waterfountain display at a park in town that we understand is quite good.

Hope to upload some photos later.

Pizza Alley
Very pretty little lane near our hotel lined with restaurants. The trouble is, you are hassled by the waiter in every establishment. We ended up going to the restaurant that DIDN'T hassle us so much. They didn't even cook our food in that restaurant, but ran across the street after we ordered. Food not good.

VW Beetle
Saw this Beetle hauling a load of pipe while our tour bus was stuck in traffic in Historic Lima. Traffic in Lima is insane. We would have returned to the city centre again if it wasn't so crazy.

Lima Cathedral
Our guide for the day had her hands full with this old guy, who kept interrupting to tell his own stories and jokes.

Presidential Palace
A few weeks after we were here, we saw in the papers that the president was greeting the repatriation of boxes of artifacts from Machu Picchu on the steps of this palace as though they were foreign dignitaries.
Following a tour around this square, we walked down a street beside the palace to tour a convent and church catacombs. Eeew.
