Lima's Outstanding Fountain Park

One of the best attractions we've visited so far in Lima is the Circuito Magico del Agua, in Parque de la Reserva. It is a beautiful park filled with more than a dozen fabulous fountains. The LL loves this place, and it is just a very relaxing, peaceful place to spend a few hours. Pictures from our visits below.

Want Culture? Cook!

Food is one of the most important facets of any culture. And Peru has some truly wonderful food. Fish and seafood. Asian fusion. Exotic jungle cuisine. Thousands of types of potato. Amazing sauces. It is a place where it is not hard, or expensive, to eat very well. Last week I decided to take a bit of time out of my normal work week to learn how to make some of the classic Peruvian dishes.

A Trip to the Zoo

One of our top priorities upon arrival in Lima was to visit the zoo. You see, the LL has a book about a family of Humboldt penguins who live on the west coast of Peru. Given that we are now living on the west coast of Peru, she figured she would be able to see some penguins. While we do plan to make a trip a bit south to see where the penguins live on the ocean, We promised a trip to the zoo. We saw penguins and more.
