Left Puno and returned to Lima.  As much as I enjoyed Cusco and Lake Titicaca, it was nice to return to the lower elevations.  I can climb a flight of stairs, walk up a ramp without gasping for air. However, you cannot have everything, I have left the cooler temps behind and am dealing with humidity and heat.

After arriving at the hotel, we took a car to the Plaza Mayor, where we had a great lunch at a restaurant called Tanta.  I am not sure of the name of everything we ate but we finished it all and then some.

It was then a walking tour of Lima.  We started at the Peru Post Office. the Lion's mouth served as a mail drop.  On the far right is the Steeple of the church Santa Domingo.

Plaza Mayor

A baroque church and a funny looking shop we found while walking though the City.

Look, the cows! I spotted a bunch of these in Geneva a few years ago.  I keep running into them!
