  1. I can’t believe my good luck in finding this blog! I will be in Lima for 6 months (not until later this year) and doing my research now about places to go, things to see, etc. I have book marked your blog and really look forward to future entries.

    • Hi Kim!

      So glad you found my blog. I’m only here for two weeks and almost a week of that will be spent hiking the Machu Picchu Inca trail, but I will be faithfully chronicling what my fiance and I do. Michael is also going to be in Peru until July for work so he’ll have a lot more experience with Lima in general. Let me know if you have any specific questions and if I can answer them, I’d be happy to.
