Especially in Spanish-speaking countries where you encounter similar or the same words/names over and over, do you find yourself losing track at all? Or have you developed a special mnemonic device to commit everything to memory? [If you have, please share it! ]

Awesome! Lima is my kind of city! I loved the photos as well, you remain a true artist !

I am so glad that you are doing well, darling! And I may admit that I miss you !

Have fun always!

Cheers

@Agnes – It´s a nice first city of South America, for sure. Very colorful and just chaotic enough, but not too much.

@Adem – It´s quite amazing actually. I have never seen anyone quite like that!

@Bluefish – Most of it, yes. But Lima has been rebuilt quite a few times.

@Liz – The weather is a bit crazy here, but so is the geography! Lima is in the desert, yet by the sea…!

@CM-Chap – Probably not to ride them though!

@beaverboosh – Nah, we have been to Macchu Picchu before and it´s expensive to get there. We have other plans for now…

@Soleil – Sorry, didn´t mean to brag! But I am truly enjoying this trip.

@Saskboy – I know, I can´t believe I missed a Canadian strike! I left a day before it started actually and I can´t believe it keeps on going. I would have been in trouble actually… Hope it ends soon!

@DianeCA – Prices are great, for sure! The color are amazing. Like in China, everywhere you look is like wow!

@kyh – We will skip Macchu Picchu this time because it´s so expensive to get there, and we have been there before in 2002. But we will go in other places… should be nice too.

@silverneurotic – Not much actually! Well, maybe something different than rice and chicken for diner, that would be great.

@barbara – I love yout comments and your enthousiasm, I feel like I´m sharing with a friend! Thank you Barabara. Yes, we should be traveling for another couple of months (yes, that much!) and I´m sure many adventures lay ahead.

@Baoru – Gotta love them to ride for hours!

@Shantanu – Well, I am preparing a post on the food, but to be honest, it´s pretty basic most of the time. Like in Central America, rice, beans and chicken… nice cakes though, there are a lot of bakeries.

@Linguist-in-Waiting – Lima is cool, it changed a lot since 2002 actually. Nice place to hang out, very relaxed, especially inthe center. The beaches are not great though, mostly black sand and lots of sharks (no kidding).

That’s cute.

I’m so glad that you extended the trip; that means that we also will share a bit of it !
Very cool, what I’m seeing of Peru !
Then, when you can find places that are both scenic and cheaper to stay in, that IS a plus.$500 a pice to continue on to Cuzco is costly, and since you already have been there, it’s not like you are losing out.

Keep on enjoying.
