The Adventure begins...in Lima




A cool museum with alot of old artifacts




A red restaurant...had lunch here!



Many old rundown periwinkle colored buildings

This was in the Cathedral made from tile and very old



The Pacific Ocean...very beautiful


Wendy and Susan in the town square


Me at some ancient ruins



Town square was alot of yellow buildings


I don't even know where to begin, I'm just back from the adventure of my life. So many lessons learned that I never want to forget. I know with time what I saw will fade and I'm a little afraid of that. I want to remember everything. The fun, the excitement, the beauty, how really really hard some things were, the food, the wildlife, but mostly the people, their poverty, and their ability to be happy! Who knew I would love it as much as I did. In a million years I would not have thought of going there, but through an unexpected surprise (Thank you Misha) I was able to go.


In this post I am going to post some photos of Lima. We were there for the first 3 days. I wish I was more savvy at this blogging stuff so I could have multiple photos to see at once, but I'm not all that. In Lima we toured a museum, a cathedral, some ancient ruins and saw the pacific ocean. I took over 2,000 photos (yes that's correct) so it's hard to figure out what to use, plus most are not even down loaded yet! Here is just a sampling of sights in Lima.....(see how backwards I am the photos came out before my introduction! So much for blogging.....later I'll have photos of the trip along the Amazon River, truly a highlight of my entire life (56 years and counting!!)
