Although we live in a desert, our neighborhood of San Isidro is relatively green. It is filled with parks, flowers, and a remarkable assortment of flowering trees. Because it's so warm here year-round, many of the plants we think of as small shrubs and perennials bloom all year and grow to the size of trees - poinsettias, for example. There are also interesting cacti and trees. It's really pretty.
The pyramid that you can see in the photos is our local, Huaca Hullamarca. It is about 4 blocks from our apartment. It has been heavily restored, as you can tell. Bacchus and I go there daily to visit his pals. The Huaca has two resident dogs. One is blond and shaggy. The other is a black, peruvian hairless - totally hairless except for punk style tufts on its head and tail. They make a funny pair. The shaggy one is very friendly and always glad to say hello to Bacchus. The dark one is more territorial and likes to bark at him.
