mmmm ceviche. I could just eat it and eat it forever. Lima has amazing food.
The view of the coast of Lima from Miraflores. Quite a pretty place, but not much to do. I went to a couple museums, but they were all quite small, and wandered around the downtown a bit as well. I was just in the biggest city in the americas though, so maybe the comparison is a bit harsh.
So the state of the homes in these suburbs up the mountain are awful, many don´t even have running water. But it looks really cool to see all the colourful huts going up the mountain.
I left Lima to go to Huacachina for a couple days--it´s a tiny oasis in the middle of the desert just next to the town of Ica.
We went sandboarding down the dunes after being driven around the desert in a dunebuggy by a crazy person. It was really fun/slightly terrifying, but I emerged with only a few bruises.
I´m leaving for Cusco and Puno tomorrow where I´m going to do a homestay on Lake Titicaca, and then hike the Inca Trail up Machu Picchu!
