Lessons Learned while in Lima

1. Chife in South America is delicious going in..not so delicious digesting and going out.
2. If you think you are safe to cross the road look again because you are not.
3.Short buses (tin can on wheels) are safer than they look..Big commercial buses are not as safe as they look.
4. Always invite little homeless kids to share your dinner, they are great company.
5. Surfing is a great ab work out.
6. Street vendors have the best food...well its the cheapest at least.
7. Do not cheap out!  Its expensive here but buy sunscreen!!
8. Learn to whistle..its the only way to get anyones attention.
9. People from Lima are not called Lemons.
10. Do not take the bus during rush hour.
11. The best way to experience this city is to walk around. 
12. The locals are very friendly and helpful.
13. Peruvian coke is most certainly made with cocaine.
14. If you are here long enough you WILL become addicted to soap operas and coca coal so dont fight it.
15. To many exhaust fumes in one city will causes cancer and smog!

*All is well!  I am going to start posting on Sundays only so we arent constantly coming down to the internet cafe.  Good news: Amy and I are pretty darn good surfers.  Bad news: We saw a lady crossing the road get hit by a motorcycle  yikes! (she was ok)
Sorry no pictures until we get to our hostel in Cusco.  We leave Lima on Sunday and decided to take a bus to Cusco..its highly recommended.  Apparently people fancy driving through the Andes Mountains..who knew_ lol

  2. And, if #13 is true..please stay away from the sodas. Coke is really bad for you anyway!
