June 1 - Lima
We got up at 4:30 this morning to catch our first of three flights to get back to Sao Paulo. We were advised to take the early morning one out of Iquitos as the night one is often cancelled due to rain. So we spent the day touring Lima. We rented a taxi for 5 hours for $50. US and he drove us all over including the Plaza de Armas where it was closed off for security reasons as the Presidential Palace is there and there were some sort of dignataries meeting there. We went into St. Francis church and got to walk through the catacombs underneath where over 25,000 people were laid to rest. We got to to go into the church library where they have an original copy of the Gutenberg bible...first one printed by a printing press. The church was beautiful and still had 40 Friars living there. We wandering through the 3 level market place after enjoying a great lunch at Tony Roma´s. So now I have Tony Roma´s in Vancouver, Hawaii and Lima....where next? We headed back to the airport and here I am updating the blog, again pictures will follow very shortly!
