Lima Peru

Leaving Machu Picchu on a 19 bus  with limited restroom facilities we returned to Ayacucho for a few days. We then flew on Peru Air (one of if not the most courteous and helpful airlines we have ever been on) from Ayacucho to Lima for our flight home. We spent a day touring the old city and it was quite impressive. Many of the buildings were occupied before Jamestown Virginia (1607) was founded. Lima was founded by Pizarro in 1535 and along with all the northern part of Peru it has colonial Spanish architecture unlike Cusco and Ayacucho.
 Motocars were the most popular mode of transportation in the cities of Peru.

Much of the capital city of Lima (population of 8,852,000 in the city and 9,752,000 in the metro area) has areas like all major cities have of over population but the old city is quite beautiful.

Pastor Samuel and Gail at John F Kennedy park in Lima.

She looked good in spite of pain in her ribs.

We toured this church with it's extremely old library.

All these pictures were taken from our double decker bus. The seats were very comfortable for Gail.

The speciality of Peru, Guinea pig (not as delicious as it might appear).

As we leave Peru, Gail is in a wheelchair.
