Treated ourselves to an easy, quiet day. It's Sunday, and the choice really is not in our hands, as most businesses are closed today. Sunday is a 'family day' in Peru. How nice this is, for most Peruvians work long, long hours during the week. There is no such thing as an official work week in this country!
Bruce and I ventured off to the private Gold & Arms Museum, located in an area quite a distance from our hotel. This museum has one of the best Inca gold collections we've seen so far. The displays included Inca tools and weapons, which we had not seen in any other museum.
Bruce browsed through the Arms Museum, housed on the main floor, while I just relaxed on a bench outside, and enjoyed the scenery.
A few house later, we taxied to Miraflores for our last lunch in this lovely, touristy suburb. We wandered, browsing all the time, then returned to La Posada.
Even the local restaurants close on Sundays! We had difficulty finding a restaurant open for a light dinner tonight, so after checking Rovegno's and the Clifford Hotel, Bruce & I decided to share a dish of Chicken Fried Rice - at the Chifa (Peruvian Chines Reastaurant) around the corner. Thank goodness it was open, otherwise, it was 'energy bars' for supper tonight!
Spent our last night in Peru reading, writing, and thinking about packing the next morning. This is it - we fly home tomorrow night at 10 p.m.!
