I joked with friends in Pisac<\/a> that when passing through Lima enroute to Canada, my single-sighted goal for Lima was to eat as much ceviche as was humanly possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They laughed politely at my joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I wasn’t joking.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arrived in Lima on a Saturday afternoon, and in the following 50 or so hours I managed five ceviche meals. I’d have eaten it for breakfast as well if it wasn’t provided for free in my hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t

C’mon, Nora. There’s More to Lima Than Ceviche.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, yes, I’m sure there is. I just didn’t discover much of it, this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However staying in the Miraflores area was a lovely way to experience some of Lima’s lively culture (enroute to and from ceviche-inspired meals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the cool Lima sights I stumbled on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t

In Parque Central, I came upon a throng of people dancing to a repertoire of latin music in a wee amphitheatre that seemed perfectly suited for the purpose. After watching bemusedly for a while at the (mostly local) crowd of dancers, I was asked to dance by a lovely elderly Peruvian gentleman who really knew how to shake his money-maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to Parque Central is Parque Kennedy, which is also known as \u201ccats park\u201d, for its abundance of cats roaming around. They’re far from feral looking though; these kitties are well-fed and get lots of love from locals and foreigners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t
