The drive back home took longer than expected. I've forgotten how bad the traffic could be here... oh well, more time for the nap, hahaha. When I arrived home, nobody was waiting for me. I opened the door and saw my baby!!!! He was in the back yard and started to jump. I run to open the door for hi…

Things have been sooooo crazy lately that I haven’t had time to write my Lima Meetup blog.  Now, memories have started to fade slightly so I’m just going to post pictures.  Go to Yadi’s blog (click here for Yadi's blog) to get the full details of the AWESOME Meetup!!  Thank…

Vacations were over. We arrived to Lima on Sunday, full of stories and with full bags too, haha. I don't know if they were more interested in me or in the things I brought for them, mmm. We'll see. So good I got a magnet of Florida. I haven't started to collect them yet, but got one just for fun, h…

We arrived at the Plaza Mayor, Lima’s version of a Plaza de Armas, or main plaza.  What to do?  Have you guessed it?  We sat on a bench and consulted the guidebook!  We decided to tour the church for S/10.  It was a big church and of course we got split up.  It was n…

I'm not good writing, but this time I wanna tell you about the wonderful time that I had in the meet up in Lima. I arrived on friday, and I met with Jim and James for lunch. We had a nice time. Then, I met everybody in Barranco, it was so nice. They are so friendly, then we went to la Posada…

Buuu, so sad holidays were over. I really had a great time showing a friend around my Perucito!!! Knew new places, met nice people, visited family and did something I've never done before: trekking!!! Well, not everything was so perfect. I lost my camera... but not the pics and even though the fina…

This was my first TB meetup! I will never forget you guys!!!

Lima is the capital of Peru, but also a capital of scam and we, but of course, were on the receiving end of a well-practiced sting one evening in the touristy Miraflores district. Whilst searching for a restaurant serving some different cuisine (i.e. one offering anyth…

By the time I was back at home it was already Sunday 4th... The drive didn't take long. Streets were almost empty...Wow! it was so hot in Lima! I arrived home and my dad opened the door. Even before he did it, I could listen to Gunther, hehe. Dad gave me a big hug and we went inside where mom was w…

It was about 11am when we arrived to Lima itself. Lima is so big and the areas are different among each others. We were coming from the north, so the first area we saw was the one called "Cono Norte". This area used to be just some houses and factories, with some chaotic roads. It's still chaotic, …

In the morning I met Malvin, a travbuddy, at noon and we went downtown to Lima's center as I had yet to see it.  The Plaza del Armas was lively, full of marching bands and people, so we milled around there for quite a while before taking a tour of a local with an old tomb of human bones monas…

I have been excited the whole week about the idea of finally start travelling this 2008. Sure, it would be because of business, but also I would be able to enjoy and have fun in the States. My final destination was New Orleans, but could find the way to go to Austin - spend one night there - and sp…

I'm a trusty person and never pay much attention about the emails talking about the dangers in the streets, but this time I started to think about it and I don't know why. Well, usually when a taxi waits for me, they have a shield with my name on it, but this time the guy had just a piece of paper.…

By the time I arrived home, it was already Monday, haha. Mom opened the door and I could listen to Gunther. Dad wasn't here. He was in Ecuador and would come back on Friday.I talked to my mom for a bit and apologized to Gunther for not having bringing anything back for him this time. I didn't have …
