This was our 5th time in Lima. We have been to the gold Museum which has an amazing display of pre-Columbian and Inca gold jewelry and ceremonial objects along with an excellent collection of uniforms and small arms. We have also seen the mummified remains of Pizarro in a Cathedral whose construction began in 1746. We have been to the main square where the Presidential Palace is located and have seen their city hall, the gardens and fountains there and purchased some bracelets at the silver market. We have also spent time in Mira Flores, a lovely town just outside of Lima. I also had emergency surgery here in 1991. All in all, we have spent a total of just under 2 weeks here. It is also one of the largest ports in South America.
The above picture is of a beautiful restaurant called La Rosa Nautica. We didn't get there this time but we have been there a few times in past years and have always had a great meal.
