Sightseeing in Lima Peru

Lima is a remarkable city. The people, its history, and gastromy make it a city I definately want to revisit. We stayed in Miraflores, a nice neighbrohood close to the beach and all other things important in Lima.

Our hostel was only $45 a night (it was a triple room w/ private bath and breakfast included)! It was a block away from the beach and super nice. I highly recommed it. http://www.casadebaraybar.com/

Right outside of our Hostel, yes it was badass! The beach is that way...

Here Chris and I are at Lima's famous Plaza de Armas, the gates are extra tall to keep the Peruvians out

This is an old door to some church, which no one ever answered

All Plaza de Armas must have a fountain in the middle, this one was about 500 years old

Another famous building in the Plaza de Armas, not sure why it is famous, but its old and deserves a picture being taken of

About the go out for the night, but we gotta get some anticuchos from Tio Mario's first

Good old fashioned American Bull Blasters for the Lima girls

Hanging out in the bar

Outside this awesome bar we went to, probably the coolest bar I've ever been to in my life, and I've been to many. I don't remember the name, but it was in Barranco.

Pachacamac- Inca ruins found near Lima

These Incas had ocean front property

A peruvian dog, yes thats the name of the breed. And no, there's nothing wrong with him, he was born that way. Obama wanted one for the White House.

Here we are in Chinatown. Yes, there's a Chinatown here, its huge, and there's lots of spanish speaking asians everywhere. It was strange to me too...

Here I am doing my infamous chinese peace sign picture pose...why do they all do that? I have no idea.

I'm the year of the Monkey


Lima is an excellent city to visit if you like to eat delicious food and hang out in cool places. I wish I could have stayed longer. I will definitely be coming back. We made some friends with Chris's family, so hopefully I'll have a place to stay next time.
