Something I had been waiting so long to do... what everyone raved about everywhere I went... the heart of Lima... is Miraflores and Barranco. They are 2 very popular districts here in Lima that are always filled with tourists. Everyone I've talked to here in LIma always tells me that their favorite district is Miraflores. Or Barranco, but Miraflores is a lot bigger and nicer.
My "wife/esposa", Fernanda, took me out to Miraflores and Barranco with her for a Saturday girls night out. And because we wanted to hang out before I left for 2 weeks and I need to the 2 most beautiful districts here in Lima at some point.
I went to her house for a fun Saturday night and first ate some pizza with her family. It was delicious of course. After that, we hung out at her house for a little bit longer before finally heading out to Barranco. We walked just outside of the military village,a nd we were at the bus stop to catch a bus to Barranco. It took about maybe 5 minutes. There, we walked all over just exploring all of the tourist sights, and it was really beautiful. There were also many street performers and entertainment that filled the streets.
After spending some time in Barranco, we went to Miraflores. First we walked around a cat park, that was really nice. The abundance of cats was just an added touch. Fernanda brought up the idea of us getting our hair done, so we went to a little shop and had our hair done. That took up quite a bit of time, since it is just wrapping your hair up in a bunch of thread. Just with a bunch of intricate knots and things to make it look the way it does. That was a lot of fun! The whole night we were out and just able to have a good time enjoying each other's company.
Unfortunately, getting our hair done ended up taking longer than we thought, as well as the bus ride home. We ended up being out about a half hour past the time we were supposed to be done. But everything ended up being ok in the end. My first impressions of such beautiful places were quite great and left me with many memories.
