Lima City Bus Tour

Walked 3 miles down the Malecon and wound up at Larcomar.
Took a cab to Parque Kennedy and grabbed a 3 hour tour of downtown
Lima by day. Well worth it. Except for the Catacombs...Gross!
The streets were crowded with Peruvians enjoying their Sunday. 
The city alternates between modern buildings, Colonial architecture and grungy. 
Places to hang out and places not to hang out. But a huge vibrant energy
throughout. At this point we decided that Miraflores and the surrounding 
Oceanside Districts are the places to be. We returned to Parque Kennedy and had dinner at Cafe De La Paz, a French/Peruvian fusion restaurante that has been around a long time. It was packed outside so we had a top notch meal inside.
Onion Soup, Beef & Pepper Soltado Pizza, a seafood platter and seafood soup.
Fantastic + too much.Take home time. Returned to Our Malecon De La Marina condo.

Time to make a few observations: The Miraflorens are pretty and they are in shape.
They are friendly and affable. There is a city vibe of hustle and bustle reminiscent 
of Chicago with a homey suburban Oak Park/Naperville/Huntington Beach feel.
