Feels like 2 cities.....MiraFlores/surrounding area modern and the rest of Lima. contrast in this 10mil pop. is not manhattan to ghetto, its manhattan to trash dump in ghetto.... exaggerating there are beautiful 500 year old buildings everywhere but its incredibly dirty and MF is only area that feels safe enough to go out at night.Driving…. a treat like every other city…..aggressive lunatics.
so strange because everything else about latin america lifestyle moves at a snails pace. next to me a semi reversed on the interstate smashing into one car pushing it 10 feet back into the next for another 20ft. Why? Who knows. I have been trying to figure out why the mad driving in all of the countries and the only thing I can come up with is lack of intelligence. I read that the average iq of latin americans is the same as north american teenagers….true or not I don’t know but if that is the case it would explain the mad driving.....adults with teenage driving mentality. 
...donkey or llama?
ride out of the mountains and over to lima lead to great ocean views cut into sandcliff coastline road….
When arrived to mf right away noticed two things…great night life….. and police everywhere for APEC trade meeting with world leaders…even bush is here (though most Peruvians would prefer it be obama as they all go off when I say im from US.) Too bad they’re not talking OPEC…peru could use the price of gas lowered. Paid $6.30 gallon for 95 octane today, highest price of trip. been here for a few days, oil chang in the morning and back on the road
colorful suburbs.... modern and old city
staying just off kennedy park...lot of art sales 
chicken and rice for seemingly 75 straight days.......eyes lit up when i saw this mcdonalds and attacked it!
