So Natalie found some jugo de maracuya, which comes in first on our things to blog about list. Second is the fact that the symbols on the keyboards dont correspond to what shows on the screen, so until we figure it out you will be seeing limited apostrophes, parentheses, and colons. Third, is the fact that Iron Maiden played the national stadium in Lima and people were waiting in line for 5-6 hours all well equipped with their Iron Maiden or Dio shirts. We seriously considered going but given that we had left our Iron Maiden shirts at the hostal, we figured we'd wait until next time.
The photos above are from Lima. The first is our lovely little hostel. The second is from the Plaza de Armas. The third is of the changing of the guard at the presidential residence. Quite a silly little picture if you ask us. We just had to post it. Anyway...we are in Huaraz now, after an 8 hour bus ride, and are trying to acclimatize to 9000 ft or so. Pardon the short post and check back soon for more exciting scenery.
Given that I had never heard of Huaraz, I found this online. Does it play?
ReplyDeleteThe Valley of Callejon de Huaylas is one of the best places in South America to enjoy superb mountain scenery and plenty of outdoor activities such as trekking, mountain climbing, mountain biking, skiing and rafting. It's also a great place for the less adventurous who enjoy going for day walks and exploring the villages and their lively markets.
The 40 km wide valley runs north-south for nearly 200 km between the snow-capped mountains of the Cordillera Blanca (White Mountains) to the east and the Cordillera Negra (Black Mountains) to the west.
