We were supposed to go paragliding today, for the cheap price of $50. Unfortunately Lima decides to rain on the only free day we had, despite it supposedly never raining here. Regardless it was a pleasant day overall as I joined Kris' family for lunch at a cute cafeteria place. Of course I had already eaten before, so I just stuck to ice cream cake and had Chicha Morada, a sweet drink made from purple corn.
Afterwards we walked back towards the main part of Miraflores but decided to stop off at an Incan Market. Of course everything was the same, which is always disappointing to me, and also the souvenirs said 'Cuzco' or 'Machu Picchu' which was even sadder as we're in Lima. I didn't end up buying anything, and am hoping to find more "authentic" goods outside of the capital.
Lessons Learned:
- Tres Leche con Chocolate cake is delicious and I plan on ordering it later in the trip.
- Freshly made strawberry ice cream is FANTABULOUS as well.
- There is a free art museum off of a random street with nice art from an abstract artist. Never would have found it without the help of Kris' host family, yay locals!
- Peanut butter here is $5+, so sad, but I'm going to hold out a bit more before giving into my love and buying it.
