Lima Love

Ryan came to visit!  We hit all the tourist favourites in Lima first. We went up to "El Cerro San Cristobal" in the historic centre.  It´s a big hill with a giant cross on top where you can see the city and light special candles (red is for love and white is for healthy and family, but there are many other colours with different meanings).  We went to Barranco - a quaint part of town where you can cross "El Puente de los Suspiros" (the bridge of sighs) - you make three wishes and cross without taking a breath.  We also got to visit the old library in the Municipal Palace - the staircase shown is carved from one log and is absolutely stunning in person.  Ryan got a haircut at the small barbershop next to my house and I finally got a picture with the giant llama that I pass on the way to work every day.
