Festivities for Lima's B-Day



Well, it's inauguration day. We are very sad have missed celebrating this historic day with our DC friends. We are doing what we can to follow the energy and events remotely via the Web and CNN. As a consolation prize, on Sunday, we stumbled across the festivities celebrating the 400-something anniversary of the founding of Lima. There was a long parade of dancers and performers from all over Peru. You really got a sense of the diversity of cultures here, ranging from people from the Amazon or mountains to the decendants of black slaves or Chinese workers.
