Waking Up in Beautiful Miraflores

Slept in until 9! Enjoyed watching our section of Miraflores wake up. 
There are myriad bikers, runners and walkers streaming by on the paths
designated for each as well as a waiting line for the next vball or futball game.
There is a small open stadium futbol pitch and 2 large bball/vball courts below.
No hangliders this early as the mist is still burning off. Decided to make our way to Larcomar, a famously located Mall built into the cliffs above the ocean. First class.
Ate a fine breakfast with a spectacular 180 view. The 3 mile walk back deserved a taxi ($2.25) and we got one. It turned sunny and 76 while we were out. The Malecon is absolutely gorgeous.

Back at the condo we went on....and mostly off the net, wrestled with the TV and 
wound up on the balcony of eternal serenity.
We watched the sun set on the Pacific and headed to the Asian/World fusion, highly rated Costazul restaurante with Chef Perroquet. His son waited on us and it was a truly memorable evening of fine dining. Skinned Octopus with garlic olive oil drizzle and avocado and tomato slices with toasted French bread strips. Causa with fried sea bass, maize, yucca and herbs. Shrimp and crab filled empanadas with 3 awesome dipping sauces. A large Sea Bass filet with garlic pepper sauce and white rice. A "10" pure and simple for Tripadvisors number 6th rated joint in Lima. Causa by the way is a Peruvian dish of mashed potatoes with lime stuffed with Avacado, crab, shrimp,fried sea bass or a combo or all of the above. Right up my alley!
