I arrived in Peru on Thursday, March 19 at 10:00 AM, and I would have to leave that evening at 11:00 PM. So when I arrived in the airport, I went straight to the Starbucks, opened up my laptop, and used their wireless internet to research what fun things I could do in Lima. I found Bike Tours of Lima, made a reservation, then took a cab to the Miraflores district of Lima and started my biking journey.
Views from the cab ride:
The bike ride was great fun, there were about 5 other people, all really nice. I made a friend, Hiromi, who is a Japanese-Venezuelan tennis player.
One of the nicest places we visited was the Yitzhak Rabin Park, which was donated by the Jewish community of Lima.
The caption reads:
"Peace is the greatest aspiration of the Jewish Community
Itzhak Rabin 1922-1995
Statesman, Fighter, Nobel Prize Winner, Prime Minister of Israel, and prestigious military general. Assassinated on November 4, 1995, during a great demonstration for peace."
We saw some ancient Inca ruins and two Peruvian Hairless Dogs.
I had dinner at a great vegetarian restaurant, for about $3:
And yes, this is exactly what it looks like. That's why it's called "Love Park."
Overall a great day in Lima, I got to see a lot in a short amount of time.
