Today was a great day in Lima. It hasn't rained here since 1901 and it's constantly overcast like Seattle. Seems that there's only a light drizzle and because of the cloud layer, everything gets enough moisture. Visted the ancient burial catacombs and the National Museum. The city's history is only matched by its traffic. They call the small shuttles that run all over, the "buses of death" in reference to the way they are driven. Visited the Mira Flores district, an upper class area at the beach with lots of shops and resturants. They have a park there called "Lover's Park" where they have a kissing festival every February 14th. They give prizes for the longest and most passionate kisses. The park is dominated by an enormous statue depicting the park's theme. All around are lovers apparently practicing for next year's competition. As you can see by the picture, Sherry and I couldn't resist. Next stop Cuzco.

- Ken, Sherry, Piper and Skyler
