I am finally able to upload mass quantities of photos so here´s a quick selection of Lima. Click here for the full set if your so inclined. I´m letting the upload program run overnight so there should be plenty more photos on Flickr by the time you are reading this.

Here´s a rule that´s never followed...

Aaron consults one of travel guides, without which we´d all be hopelessly lost.

The San Francisco Cathedral, home of Saints, con artists and pigeons.

Here´s the lounge at our hostel in central Lima. The building dates back to colonial times and at one point was a mansion. Now it serves as a backpacker´s hostel for the small price of about $5 Canadian per a night.

For the sake of contrast, here is your average looking settlement in the desert about 45 minutes outside of the city.
