Inauspicious start

We arrived very late Wed. night (after midnight), but we made it safely out of Miami (thoughts and prayers go out to those in Irma's path).  A little snafu at the airport with the driver who was to pick us up (we waited 30 minutes for him to find us, after breezing through Customs and Immigration) but we got tucked in quickly to our very nice hotel and slept soundly.  The sounds of the city awakened us earlier than we'd have liked, but we then went exploring.  Walking down to the beach only a mile away was easy on the way down - a little more challenging back up the huge bluffs that the city sits on.  Beautiful views along the coastline and interesting to watch novice surfers being taught.

Somewhere in our rambling, I set my phone down, and it's now gone.  We retraced our steps and even used "find my Android" on Google, to no avail.  We're thinking we won't replace it, so Steve will have me stuck like glue to him for the rest of the trip!

IK Restaurant was a delicious and interesting entry into Lima's fine dining scene.  The first bites looked so good that we inhaled them, and then remembered that we were going to take pictures...

Wish you could have seen them!

15 courses (with drink pairings, of course!) later, we finished with this cute marshmallow and banana critter.
