Travel with Me / Peru - Lima, Lima, Peru

Daniel and I took an overnight flight immediately after work on a Friday. After some delays, we landed in Lima, Peru at about 7am where my aunt and uncle picked us up. We were so excited to have a passport in hand and just explore!

After getting cleaned up at the apartment, we were ready to see Lima! The first stop was the new Paddington Bear sculpture near the Miraflores Boardwalk. As the story goes, Paddington Bear came from 鈥渄arkest Peru鈥�, so the British embassy sent the statue over as a gift of friendship just one month ago in July 2015.

As you can probably tell in the pictures below, these cats are happy and well-fed. They are basically an attraction; it鈥檚 popular for visitors to come and take pictures with the cats.
