PEACE CORPS PARENT IN PERU

It started out as a Mother-Daughter Trip----
but we added a chaperone
Avianca has become my favorite airline--
-hot meals in Economy!!
After landing in El Salvador we realized it was--- 
what would you say?----HUMID!
No X-ray machines.... but you do have to go through security again....
These ladies know how to unpack.
LIMA!!
A huge shopping mart!!
 
Where one can get DVDs for a couple of bucks!! 
 
And about any brand of shoes---except Under Armour.
Shopping on the street is an experience too....
creepy mannequins.
Tasty gelato---maybe not quite as good as in Rome
The Colonial Plaza
Destination: that cross on the hill (behind Sam's head)
The ride up the hill was quite a traffic adventure...

A look at the city from on high.....it's big and dry...

Abby's place in Jesus Mara neighborhood....was comfy
Good Friday in Lima at the Cathedral...
