Lima

We took an overnight TRC bus to Lima and arrived at 6am, Saturday morning. We headed over to Jeff's old hostal, Domeyer, in Barranco. Barranco is easily our favorite neighborhood in Lima. Only ten minutes away from Miraflores, this small, bohemian neighborhood has everything you need within close proximity. Charming bars, cafes, restaurants, parks...what more can you ask for? For our first lunch, we ate at El Muelle (a restaurant where Jeff worked a few years before) and ate one of the best ceviches and parihuelas. The only downside to Barranco was Jeff's food-poisoning episode which was caused by eating chicken wings at a local Sports Bar in Miraflores. Luckily, after one day of severe vomiting and diarrhea, he felt better thanks to the help of Frutti Flex 50 (a miracle electrolyte solution). After we headed to Martha's parents home in La Molina where we enjoyed a few days in the comfort of their lovely home.
