Lima, Peru Colores

Through out South America, color abounds. Some areas of Lima have multiple colors like the picture above. Side by side you will see rose colors, rust colors, blues and the mustard yellows (painted for a pope visit - his favorite color).

The government center was all a whitish gray, however. This color was only broken up by the cars, the guards and the Santa Claus waving to the crowds.

The changing of the guards was slower than molasses, and after 1/2 hour we had to stop watching. First a band what I assume was the national song two times. Then the new guard came out and slowly marched down the stairs and began to cross to where the guards leaving duty were situated.

It was all very regal. Lastly, in the center of the government plaza were several gardens of marigolds.

We enjoyed Lima, but as on any cruise you only get a small taste of what is available to see. I believe Lima is a place that I will put on my bucket list for the future. What we saw, we liked.

Until later
