DC's winter lasted so long that we forgot about the power of the sun, so we're slightly sunburned. It's been a good day of Spanish immersion and seeing the major sites in central Lima:
-Plaza Mayor's historic buildings, plus the changing of the guard at the Governor's Palace
-Museum of the Inquisition and Congress: took the free Spanish tour because why not and the tour guide totally called us out on not understanding anything
-Circuito Magico Del Aqua: park filled with fountains, great place for a nap
-Mercado Central and Chinatown
Hostel we're staying in (the Point) is in Barranco, a hip district in the southern part of Lima. It's a self-declared party hostel, so full of young people somehow both up all hours and sleeping all hours.
Food has been awesome, notables include: antichuchos (heart kabobs), Inca Cola (tastes like bubblegum), local liquor Pisco, and surprise favorite chicha morado (purple corn juice)
Steve loves Inca Cola!
