Since it was a fairly ordinary week with no special event or visit, the photos offer a fairly random snapshot of our life here.
photo 1. This was taken at Huaca Pucllana, a nearly 1000 year old pyramid complex in the middle of the Miraflores neighborhood of Lima. Lima is littered with these pre-Columbian mud-brick temple-pyramid places. There's one about 5 blocks from our apartment, for example. But Huaca Pucllana is one of the more interesting ones, and it has the distinct advantage of having a lovely restaurant. We went there for Sunday lunch today, because the SUN FINALLY MADE AN APPEARANCE, and we wanted to sit outside in a pretty place to celebrate. 
photo 2. this is a Rear Window moment. It is part of the view from our bedroom window. It intrigues me because I can't decide whether there's a messy artist living there, or if they are rehabbing something. Probably the latter, because the buildings here are pretty upscale, with apartments staffed with maids who wouldn't generally put up with this level of disorganization.
photo 3. I took Bacchus to the beach this morning, because it's wide open and he can run off leash. He loves chasing the sea gulls.
photo 4. It was windy, and there were big ships on the water today. It leant the place a more maritime feel than usual.
photo 5. You do have to appreciate the abundance of exotic flowers here. These birds of paradise grace the garden outside my office building.
