Day 2 - Cuanto Cuesta??????





Recap of Night 1: Events of the night are a little blurry, but the things we do remember are not appropriate for this blog. A Peg le gusta mucho el Pisco Sour ..... enough said....

Day 2
Over breakfast, we talked about our evening and we almost got kicked out of the house by abuelita ("grandma")...thinking all the pisco sour consumption was taking place upstairs in our bedrooms. We were big girls today and took found our own taxi making it successfully to LarcoMar, a shopping center on the Pacific Coast. We hit some shops and continued with our sight seeing. Lisa and Peg continue to polish their bargaining skills....yet Lisa continues to have currency conversion problems and keeps wanting to pay the vendors too much...."Yes, it is only ONE dollar!"

Our personal tour guides, Vanessa and Rosita, picked us up and took us to the Parque de la Reserva for a nice water, light, and laser show in the evening. It was a nice surprise to see more cousins, more than Bea knew she had :)

Btw...Bea earned a point today (but she is claiming it counts as five since it was the entire waitstaff). As it stands on Day 2: Peg 3, Lisa 3, Bea 1

  1. You've been in MY barrio... La Costa Verde, La Rosa Náutica, Larcomar, Bajada Balta, Parque del Amor. Qué pena, neither my Mom nor my sister are in Lima to wave at you out their windows...or ask you to "Vengan a tomar té..."

    Living it with you vicariously, MaríaElena (AKA: Elenita)

  2. Peg, when you get back, I've got the pisco and I can make a mean one...
    Also, next time, try an "algarrobina" Ask Bea, she'll know...
    Isn't chifa absolutely delish?
    Bea, have they tried anticuchos yet? Go to the anticuchera off Santa Cruz, pasando Angamos, or by the Estadio. The ones on the beach are probably gone by now, it's May...
