On our way to Barranca

Lima, Peru



The picture on the left was taken on our way to Barranca, which our guide said means cliff. Fantastic views when we got there. The picture on the right is the San Francisco Church at the city center. The church has catacombs underneath where people were buried before. The eerie thing there is that archeologists started digging there and they stacked the bones according to parts, like all the skulls are together, femur, etc... No pictures were allowed in the catacombs so I can't show the pile of bones down there.

More scenes from Lima

Miraflores, Peru



The coast of Lima looks gray doesn't it? I don't think we saw it clear up while we were there. The picture on the left is the Miraflores Kissing Park. They said they have a record with the Guiness book of records for the most people kissing at the same time there at the park. I forgot how many couples were there though... =D The building you see in the picture on the right is actually a restaurant called La Rosa Nautica. They said the views there are great! We just didn't have the time to try it out (or the money... hehehe! It's a pricey restaurant! hehe!)

Museum!

Lima, Peru



I forget what's the name of the museum we went to at the city center in Lima... The museum was pretty good though in showing arts/timelines of the different "groups" that ruled in Peru leading up to the Incas. There are tons of potteries there that are quite interesting and I wouldn't know what it's used for unless it was written on the cards on the display... hehe!



This is a burial mask made of gold in the museum. Pretty neat huh? Too bad there was not too many Inca gold there since they said most of it was melted/taken by the Spaniards. The only Inca gold we saw at the museum were tiny trinkets.
