Glimpses of Lima


Posted by rickvug

I am finally able to upload mass quantities of photos so here´s a quick selection of Lima. Click here for the full set if your so inclined. I´m letting the upload program run overnight so there should be plenty more photos on Flickr by the time you are reading this.

When this squigy boy first came up to me I thought that he wanted some change, or maybe even my camera. It turns out that he actually wanted a photo of himself, as I guess he does not have many. The email to him is on its way!

This photo would be uneventful if it wasn´t for the sign. It looks like this guy is a notary public.

Here´s the lounge at our hostel in central Lima. The building dates back to colonial times and at one point was a mansion. Now it serves as a backpacker´s hostel for the small price of about $5 Canadian per a night.

For the sake of contrast, here is your average looking settlement in the desert about 45 minutes outside of the city.
