We're in Lima and enjoying the city. Our timing was bad since we arrived on election day and everything was mostly closed. We were able to catch a city tour and get a guided tour of everything that was closed but at least we were able to orient ourselves around. Since seafood is the specialty of Lima, we're doing our best to try it all. I think it's too heavy on the cream sauce but the food is good. Today we all ended up with a south of the equator sunburn that happens when the clouds are high and it's not hot. I thought it was going to be cold and raining but that's not the case.
Everyone is paranoid about taxis and kidnappings here. We've been using the hotel taxis to get around. I don't know if the hotels are perpetuating this myth or what but if there are that many kidnappings, I don't see how the taxi drivers can stay in business and there are hundreds of them.
Tomorrow we leave for Cusco. Now that the elections are over, maybe there won't be so many riot police on the streets.
