Visiting a different part of Lima :)
September 11, 2008
My house is as small and simple as a nest, but the piece, joy and love fit in it!
While we were there, there were a group of people recording a tv spot, haha. It was so fun. I was thinking the cameras were following me, haha.
Thorben & I went to Magdalena, another area of Lima which has a good open market. It was empty and very clean! wow! it surprised me! haha. We were just walking around checking the veggies and fruits, when a man approached to Thorben and asked him: "De donde eres?" (Where are you from?) Thorben just said: "Alemania" (Germany) and the guy said: "Alemania! Hermano! Brother!" haha, Thorben corrected him: "Brueder!" and then the guy hugged him, haha, so much fun.
frying the picarones!
Thorben got some fruits and I found a small cafe where they sell traditional desserts. Although he was full, he agreed to have a bit of mazamorra morada (purple corn pudding) with rice pudding. Well, he loved it! haha. Lima scores again, yay! It was perfect since it wasn't too sweet, besides it was warm and it was getting cool outside. We walk around the main square for a while and decided to leave since it was getting cooler, brrrr.
I drove Thorben back to Miraflores, stayed there for a while and then drove back home. Not 100% sure about what we'd do the next day, but something fun for sure, hehe. I'm also owing him a Pisco Sour ;)

El Bolivariano - a tradition in a traditional area
This is one of Lima’s classic restaurants, located in the heart of Pueblo Libre. The location was part of a former convent building in the 18th century. It's close to the National Museum of Archeology, Anthropology and History of Peru.
Its atmosphere is sort of rustic with different rooms. Don't expect to see many tourists there, although you might find the place crowded by local people. What I like most about the historic center of Pueblo Libre is it feels very much like a small village in the mid of the big city.
And what about the food? well, it's tasty and the portions are generous. 1 would be more than enough for 2 people. It also offers a famous buffet on Sundays.
At night the large room became a dance floor and people party there. For pisco and wine, they offer their own ones, which are very good. The staff is helpful too.
The different environments are very nice and cozy. Perfect to celebrate reunions, birthdays or just hang out with friends.
If you are looking for Peruvian food in a traditional atmosphere this is the right place for you :)
