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!
