Enjoyed breakfast again - coffee, rolls, jam! Thank goodness I can still eat, for I do want to keep on trying Peruvian foods while we are in this country!
With a hotel employee, I checked out our new room for the night. We have to leave La Posada, as they could not accommodate us, for this evening only. They have arranged for us to be staying at a 'pension' within the same little cul de sac.
Taxied to the Historical Center of Lima one more time, visiting the Central Bank Museum which houses an interesting collection of (more!) Inca and pre-Inca pottery, artifacts, stunning gold pieces, textiles, and some early tools. Visiting all these museums, is definitely helping us gain a deeper understanding of every day Peruvian culture, for all this information is so intertwined and intermixed. Peruvian history is so complex, much more so than our early North Americal historywith our native cultures.
Devoured a delicious lunch (again!), and of course, my tummy did talk to me about this. Too bad - so sad! We return to Canada, to 'normal' food, on the 29th - our last day in Peru.
Visited the San Francisco Church (Franciscan Order). The interior decor was white and rust coloured Moorish wall curlique designs, domes and ceilings; very different, yet attractive. We liked the Moorish artistic effect. Statues & altars are beautifully carved cedar, with the altars being floor to ceiling in height.
Returned to our new 'pension', which was a little larger than our room at La Posada.
Went out for a light dinner, read, wrote, and went to bed early. We need lots of energy for our touring tomorrow!
