The Summer Trips are coming!!!

7 more days until the end of this school year for us!!!  This summer is shaping up nicely with a lot of camping the past few weekends and a wonderful finish to the school year.  The big trips start with 3 days of diving in Cozumel, Mexico, then to Maya Riviera for a wedding.  After that, we head to Vegas and then immediately bounce to Paris to meet up with Anne and Tomas.  We will spend 3 days in Paris, and then head to Chamonix for a two week hike to Zermatt, Switzerland.  From there, we go to Munich for a wedding and to Salzburg, Austria for the music festival.  Whew!  You guys need to check back often, since I will be writing every day.

Lima Day 1

We finally got some rest last night.  So much in fact that it was 9 hours worth.  Once we woke in Miraflores House we just chilled out in the room and I worked on the blog.  

Then it was lunch time, so we headed out to a restaurant called Punta Sal.  Punta Sal is a seafood place that specializes in ceviche.  We spent quite a while there watching people paraglide and stroll through the neighboring park.  

After lunch, we walked to the edge of the cliff and could see surfers down in the water.  This park is a happening place with families and tourists all around.  We ended up walking another long distance close to 10k and rounded back to the hostel.  The night ended with a sandwich from the place next door to the hostel.  Tomorrow will be another day of exploring.

The parking attendant was a sight to see, mustache and hat for style. 

Ahhh. The ceviche is delivered.
