Seeing Lima

To my devoted following:

Here are a couple of photos from gray, gray Lima. The dreary photos don't reflect what a nice, fresh time I had there, but they do show the coast and some of the Park of Love's mosaics (yes, there's a Park of Love, complete with lots of little snippets of love poems and a huge statue of two people doing it). And, I've added a few tidbits from the Miraflores Park. That's one thing Lima's got going for it - lots and lots of parks, divided by roads way too wide, perhaps, for the number of cars, and apartment buildings way too gray for how freaking dark the sky always was, and how close it felt.

So, here you have it: Lima in Winter.

Love, Kate

See? There's a procession.

Lima Pride!

Some images from Lima's Pride Parade, held yesterday! In typical Latin American fashion, it started much later than anticipated, and apparently no drivers had been forewarned. Thus, traffic was held up for miles and miles, but no one seemed super cranky about it. I bet one or two thousand people participated in the parade, mostly youth, but everyone was definitely represented. Anyway, Pride is a beautiful thing, here in Lima just like anywhere else in the world. Enjoy!
