Lunch at the Cordon Bleu

It's Friday - Lunch with the BMW's (Beautiful Mature Women)

Did you know that the Cordon Bleu school in Lima has a restaurant? Reservations are required and it's a bit pricier than a menu on the corner place, but what a fun experience! Amazingly innovative dishes. I will go again!

Rincon Chami

Lunch today at one of my favorite restaurants - down a little side street called Esperanza (Hope) in the center of Miraflores, this little gem has tables on the sidewalk, friendly service, and a wide selection of fabulous Peruvian food. Gene had fish. I had goat, one of my favorites. Oh, and there are usually a couple of musicians stopping by to play for tips.

Museum Day

One of the goals I set for myself a while ago was to visit every museum in Lima! I don't know if that's even possible considering how many there are. I'm always accidentally discovering one that I'd never heard of before, so it may be an open-ended project, but that's just fine. How amazing to live in a city with so much history and so many museums that you can never see them all! My project got a huge boost recently when one of the BMW's (more on them later), the amazing archaeologist Dorothee Rivka Rago, took my friends and me on a private tour of the Amano Museum here in Miraflores. The museum is home to an amazing collection of ceramics, textiles and various objects from all pre-columbian cultures, with an emphasis on the Chancay culture. The visit was so fascinating, and I ended up with so many amazing photographs, that I came home and put together a photo collection for the friends who had been with me on the visit. You can see my collection of photos over at Morning at Amano with Dorothee.
