Miraflores, Lima.
We are back in Lima for a few days. Our poor white skin couldn't handle any more sun at the beach. It was fun though! River and Sage ended up trying boogie boarding. The waves were pretty strong though... I think they'll have to wait a few more years to really do it.
We're staying at the HitchHiker's hostel in Miraflores. We spent the afternoon strolling around Miraflores, checking out Parque Kennedy, which is the main hang-out zone and enjoying delicious helado (ice cream): limon, maracuya and fresa. Que rico!
River and Sage are getting great Spanish immersion. Sage has mastered: "Tengo hambre", "playa" and "helado" -very important vocabulary!
Tomorrow, we will check out Museo de la Nacion, one of the main museums with replicas of all the major ruin sites of Peru and extensive displays of the major cultural groups and ancient civilizations. It will be a great preparation for Cuzco. On Monday, we fly to Cuzco.
More soon!
Hasta luego!

Punta Hermosa
Hola, Buenos Dias! Saludos desde Punta Hermosa!
It is a beautiful, sunny morning. This week, we are doing the Spring Break thing, Peruvian style. We left Lima yesterday and headed south to a beach called Punta Hermosa. We are staying on the upper level of a beach condo complex with a balcony overlooking the beach. There is a big surf scene here, and I can see the surfers as I write this blog! I don't expect the entire vacation to be so lujo, but we'll enjoy it for now!
River slept in and is catching up on his Warriors book. Steve and Sage just got back from looking for breakfast. Looks like things don't get going really early around here. Sage is reporting a really good restaurant with orange and papaya juice. Sage says, "I am getting impatient for going to the beach." River wants to announce that yesterday he ate squid and octopus. Steve says it's time for breakfast which means I better stop blogging!
Agenda for today: beach and more beach. Popsicles or ice cream. Seafood Peruvian style which means ceviche. I got up early and meditated to the sound of the ocean and did my asana practice which means my to-do list is pretty much done!
I'll try to post some photos later today!
Adios for now!
