We arrived in Lima, Peru the night of February 4th. Everything went very smoothly the entire day, which can only mean one thing.....I had seen photos of the apartment we had rented and it looked beautiful. The location was perfect what could go wrong there? The weather in Lima right now runs in the upper 80's as highs and lows in the mid 70's, pretty much like Puerto Viejo. I double checked with Tim before we left to make sure there was a/c at the apartment and yes was the response. On the long cab ride here our driver was telling us how unseasonably hot it has been - up to 33 degrees Celsius, which is around 91F. Ahhh, no problem because we have a/c! We open the door at 9:45PM after a long day of traveling and are greeted with a blast of hot air from the closed up apartment. Ryan and I go in search of the thermostat only to come to the realization that there isn't one. Quickly we open windows, of which there are many huge, unscreened panes of glass in every room, and I pray that there are not a lot of bugs. A nice breeze off the ocean wafts throughout the residence along with a lot of noise from the street. Past experience tells me that heat is more of a problem than noise. Thankfully there are no bugs, the view is amazing as well as entertaining, and the breeze is constant. What started off as need to find a plan B has turned into a very pleasant surprise. Granted, we are not quite as rested as we could be and the Falcons lost last night in an incredible Super Bowl game but we are enjoying our stay in Miraflores Lima, Peru. There is a non-stop series of parks, walking and bike paths that line the ocean across the street, which is better than tv! We've seen skate boarding bulldogs, an altercation in which the police ended up getting involved, para-gliders, yoga classes, Brazilian kick-boxing practice all right out our window.
Tim just took us on a 30 minute cab ride in very heavy traffic to the Agua Parque only to find out it not open on Mondays. It's always great fun in this family to have something to give our beloved patriarch grief over, so it was worth it!
