Hola All:
We left La Paz via Aerosur to Cuzco and because of the time change arrived before we left. Aerosur is probably the best option for flights around Peru, but for the one between Lima and Cuzco it prices itself out of the market. The cost is about double, so we switched to Star Peru for the second leg. We were able to get an earlier flight (although a little Bae 146) and were in the Hotel España by early afternoon. The 2 days we have in Lima are intented for relaxation, catching the band at the presidential palace at noon, and filling up on Churras and Cervaza. And it has worked out that way with Joy throwing in some shopping. If she gets it all back it will go down in aviation history with my taking 50 Quinoa bars back for Ivar Mendez to test (another story for later). The band performances here every noon at the changing of the guard are interesting and free. The music is great, but the riot police keep you away from the fence so the photos are ¨crap¨. Churras are pudding wrapped in a ¨beavertail¨for those familiar with the Ottawa treat. They are not good for you, but are very good!
Well, we have checked out and will be on our way out of SA in less than 12 hours. Sad to leave, and will try to be back.
Jim
