Peru day 2

We started off the day with a buffet style breakfast at the hotel. Had some eggs and sweet bread type stuff. The coffee was the consistency of motor oil. It did taste better though :) then we headed down to see the pacific ocean and the walkway above the beach. There is a semi outdoor shopping mall there. Nothing seemed to open until 11 am. What a change from the us.

We then meandered back up to a plaza where we all enjoyed some much better coffee.

We then piled into a small cab - imagine 4 of us in the back of something the size of a Chevy cavilier and rode up to the Capitol building and the square where all the inquisitions were held. We ate lunch and had some inca soda at a rooftop cafe overlooking the presidential palace. We ordered a couple of dishes to share. One was a fried chicken breast with rice - the other was steak stir fried with vegetables and other was potatoes in a mild hot sauce. All were great!

We walked to another plaza through and outdoor shopping area and took a taxi back to the hotel. Next up is a short run next to the beach.

Beach was really nice. Lots of people were out with their families. There were numerous paragliders and surfers.

We had dinner at pescado capitale.
I had an excellent pork dish - and tried some others fish which was actually pretty good!
I also had pisco sours - a classic Peruvian drink - which was very good and strong :) Sunday morning came a bit early!
