Pearl #20 ~ Picture Pearl-fect


Peru's tallest mountain, Huascaran, in the very center.  I took this picture on my first flight into the country.

Following up on Pearl #15's comments about how pearlicious it is to revisit my Pearl-uvian (now I'm really branding myself, aren't I?) moments from 2006, it occurred to me that I have pictures to accompany my original blog posts!  They didn't make it into the Walking With Inkas blog, but they made it into my Facebook albums after the fact, so I decided I'd pull some of those that are relevant to the stories I've already posted.  Moving forward, I'll try to integrate them into the actual posts.  Enjoy!



The house I lived in during my internship in Lima.  I loved the cacti!
I absolutely loved this guacamole.  It came in a DIY kit with all the ingredients packaged and ready to assemble, including a whole, unpeeled avocado.  And, I have to say, Peruvian Doritos are something special.  Just a touch cheesier and fantastic!  I forgot all about my prosciutto and plantain chip obsession until I saw this picture!
These are the Carniverous Cannibal Stuffed Peppers I made just before my first earthquake experience.
La Rosa Nautica - My favorite restaurant in Lima (and Peru, for that matter), and former President Toledo's favorite, too, as Rotney and I learned when we accidentally shared the dining room with him in the final days of his presidency.

Me, with Rotney, enjoying our meal at La Rosa Nautica.  The Pacific Ocean is behind us, and about five feet behind me was President Toledo with his wife and security detail.  We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time!

Miraflores, a fashionable Pacific Coast neighborhood in Lima.
