Day 83: Golf & Lima - Saturday January 29, 2011

We had a lot of fun at the Lima Country Club. It is a longish urban, park course. All around one looks up at all the high-rise places to live and our hotel. It had plenty of bunkers, water & OB, but no surprises. I played my game and Carol played one of her best! The bar snacks included bite size boiled herbed potatoes and several types of olives. We were so happy to be doing something familiar and comfortable as playing golf & staying at luxury accommodations.

Miguel and Gloria picked us up at the hotel and showed us the 2 main business districts, the colonial center, the old homes and the affluent districts. One can live very comfortably in Lima at 1/3 the cost. We finished off at a fabulous Cliff-side, ocean view super mall. Over drinks, we finally talked politics. I am glad that things are now going well economically and politically in Peru. We hope that Miguel & Gloria visit us so that we could enjoy their company again.

Tomorrow is our 3-museum day. We have visited several sites where the archaeological treasures ended up in Lima, the Capital. Things are building up for Justin’s arrival day after tomorrow!
