Life in Lima

After having decided that winters in Buenos Aires (June through August) are not really my cup of tea, I decided to spend this June in NY/CT/Miami and July/August in Lima, Peru. While it is winter here in Lima as well, the weather is much more moderate, with temperatures in the 60 degree range all day and night.

I spent a few months here in 2010 and enjoy the tranquility of the city as well as the great seafood, as it sits on the shores of the Pacific ocean. The apartment I'm staying in this visit is also in Miraflores, the cultural center of the city, with the best nightlife, restaurants and things to do.

This Thursday, July 28, is Peru's Independence Day (Dia de la Patria) and also the day its new President gets sworn into office, so there will be plenty of excitement in the city and a huge fireworks display at night over the ocean.
