Day 2

So we found out today that our luggage was left in Costa Rica and should be arriving late tonight. Yippy! That means we will likely move on to Nazca tomorrow by bus and not waste more time in Lima. Today we walked around the suburb of Miraflores with Nikki, an American girl from our hostel, shopping for local art and alpaca sweaters, toques, etc. Peru has beautiful textiles. The streets are dirty, it smells, and alot of buildings are really run down. We saw a few sites and headed for the ocean, then to an outdoor shopping centre built into the side of a cliff overlooking the Pacific. That's about it, just waiting at the hostel for our backpacks to arrive now and watching Spanish movies with subtitles. Ta ta for now!
