On Thursday May 21 we flew from Cusco to Lima. We'd arranged for an apartment for four nights, and the owner, Cesar, met us at the airport with a driver and took us to our lodgings. We were very pleased with the apartment - spacious and very well-equipped with a washer/dryer for our grungy clothes and a wonderful view of the Pacific from the balcony. It would be even more wonderful during their summer months. Lima winter, from about April to October, is seldom sunny. So why did Pizzaro found the capital in the one place along the coast with 6 months of clouds and fog? He visited in January.

Miraflores is a very pretty area of Lima, overlooking the Pacific. There was a nice walk along the cliffs to Larcomar, a large multi-level shopping mall built into the cliffs. Lots of restaurants, shops and services available. We ate at a Tony Roma's one night when I was hungry for ribs.
