Finally - A Relaxed Sunday Brunch in Lima!



Finally - A Relaxed Sunday Brunch in Lima!

Fresh mango and berries, delicious  Andean cheese , black olive mousse  and other delightful local products


The last boxes are unpacked, paintings hanging on their place ( hit myself on the thumb with a hammer as usual! :) ), phone and internet are working and now it’s time to enjoy Peru.
We made a stop over at the Barranco area, a charming place with old summer houses from the 19th century, a beautiful  sea view  and a bohemian flair.
It’s a place where many young artists have settled down,full of small restaurants and bars and a colorful,tropical vegetation.



A kind of “Buena Vista Social Club” making music in Barranco


The old church” La Eremita”, unfortunately with a roof that is falling apart and some vultures living on top, but maintaining its vivid, bright colors.  A bit decadent,  but still charming.




Beautiful entrance to one of the old houses
 





Hidden treasure: a small café that serves delicious, organic only products.

    1. Hi Amelia,
      so happy you enjoyed the pictures of our new home country.
      Don't worry about the "hammer accident", was just a silly thing that happens nearly always when we are moving,suppose I'm a bit clumsy :)
      Hugs and all the best to you.

    1. Hi Judy,
      these old doors are definitely an eye catcher and I only hope that people preserve them because there is a real construction boom going on right now and many of the beautiful old houses are demolished.
      Thank you for your kind feedback!
