Lima day 3
 |
| The love stature on the malacon |
Today is our 2nd full day in Lima.We wanted to go see the pyramid in the city and more of the Malecon from the Miraflores side.
 |
| The pyramid entrance and small museum |
The pyramid caught us by surprise as I didn't think we will see one in the city.
 |
| The pyramid |
Turns out the city didn't know there's one till 1950! They are still excavating the rest of the pyramid too. As they only saw a yellow slope and houses are built and the slope used for sports.

I think they found sacrifices and burial graves in the pyramid.

While we are there, there's a mandatory emergency drill at 10am. The hotel left is a note the night before letting us know that we have to participate if we are in the room!
 |
| the letter from hotel informing us of the emergency drill |
As far as we can tell, the whole city has phone msgs, sirens etc all going for 10 mins with everyone at Punto de reunión.
 |
| Everyone waiting to get back to the tour during the drill |
After that we walked to a coffee shop called ombu and it has great coffee.

| Ombu for good coffee |
Then we continue walking to the malecon on the Miraflores side
 |
| The same pacific ocean! |
 |
| Gaudi style parks and the Love park |
I noticed there's a churros con chocolate store Manolo and I told Bill that I need to try it. It is better than the churros that we get at Tijuana as they are crispier and lighter
 |
| The correct churros con chocolate |
After that we had dinner at Ache which is a Nikkei-Peruvian fusion place.
 |
| Good clams and fish soup and sushi at Ache |
