El Clima de Lima

Always makes me sick. I swear I don´t think I have been fully healthy one time in the many that I have been in Lima. And I hate to say it but everytime I am here despite all efforts to truly enjoy and see the city I am always reminded by how much I hate it and it saddens me that such an amazing country has such a boring capital city. Oh well, I´ll always have Cusco- which is probably the source of my illness. I haven´t been in cold, humid low altitude weather in months and coming from such a different climate to this one has wreaked havoc on my respiratory system.

Anyway, tomorrow is D day. Can´t believe it. Well, I can and I can´t- its not like I haven´t known this day was coming since I got back here in May but its amazing how time has flown. I can remember so many details of my return, from my frozen bus ride from Lima to Cusco, seeing my house for the first time- even what I ate at my landlords house that first day. Stupid, silly details that don´t really matter but still mean so much to me.

Last night was spent out with friends from Cusco, Lima and well, everywhere. It was (as a testament to how boring Lima can be) my first night out in the city- it was a blast and I can´t believe how many people from so many different groups I have met along the way. AND it was a fun night out in Lima.

This morning was not quite so fun as my fun night out wasn´t too kind to my random Lima illness but after a chill day in the house (and a small family crisis) we´re going to head out later to see more people who happen to be in town and check out a friend´s restaurant (Rafael who we met at the concert in Buenos Aires, the one who looks like a young David Bowie in the Ziggy Stardust days, must get a pic this time to confirm this!) have some drinks and enjoy my last night in Peru. Tomorrow probably catching an Alianza soccer game in the afternoon and 11pm is zero hour and see´s me on a plane, heading back to my other home...
