Lima

So the hostel we are staying at isn't really a hostel more just a guys apartment with a person (we have nicknamed stoner steve) permanently inside who answers the door.

It is sufficient and within miraflores which is a great location and we are still only paying 5 us dollars a night.

Lima has been a binge of Japanese food, triple sandwiches (egg salad, avocado and tomato with 3 pieces of bread), great ice cream and white wine.

Went to a couple of very interesting museums, one which had a photography exhibit of the very violent 20 year struggle between the socialist “terrorist/liberationist”, the state and rural farmers who banded together to defend themselves.

Also another museum which had an erotic pottery art exhibit which was well funky. The Chimu´s have a sense of humour and imagination as well.

The weather has been great and Fin and I are still going strong even though I have demanded jap for dinner two night in a row (she is vegetarian but starting to get into her sushi).

Today was a leisurely Sunday morning stroll followed by a coffee and then paragliding. This was rad!

Looking town on private clubs with tennis courts and pools was fun. Cruising right past the top level of the Marriott was more fun.

The landing and take off was so smooth I really had nothing to be scared of. We waltzed up didn’t sign a waiver got strapped in and the guy said all you have to know is run toward the cliff. When we actually tried to run toward the cliff we were already being lifted off the ground so there were no issues. It was a little bit disappointing that we didn’t get to jumped off the cliff but it was still exhilarating.

Fin also enjoyed her paragliding although she admitted later that she wanted my instructor cause he was hotter than her mid 50s eastern European one.

Lima has been pretty fun (it is a swanky area miraflores) and despite some crazy Croatians causing trouble in our hostel with the live in door man everything has been fine. In fairness even that has been mildly interesting.

Still love Fin

LOVE makoto had a sushi feast there for 15 dollars
Love ice cream again!
Love Lima
Stoner steve is harmless but he is a dope and so unfortunately I am going to have to give him a HATED rating.
LOVED paragliding would totally do it again and it was relatively cheap as far as flying adventures go I think (30 dollars vs much more for either bungy jumping or sky diving).
