Our first tour of Lima took us around the city. We admired the beautiful plazas and colorful buildings. We visited two impressive houses, Casa Solariega de Alieaga and Casa Luna. Both function as museums and also serve as living quarters for the families that own them.
Why are there no pictures of these outstanding places? Because I forgot my camera. Watson had his, but the battery needed to be recharged.
You can try Googling the two locations if you would like to see them. Casa Luna is especially interesting because it houses a collection of
more than two thousand Nativity scenes.
Day two of touring included a visit to the Indian Market and to a store called Dedalo, where all of the items on display have been made by local artists and artisans.
The artwork was often impressive,
Sometimes silly, but always interesting to see.
Now, we are under way toward General San Martin, port for the town of Pisco.
