lost peru pics

I



































 totally forgot to post these back in August... please forgive me! Some higlights of Peru...

weekend wrap up

Friday was Novio's birthday, and we went to Miami to celebrate. The next morning (well, more like a few hours later) we packed up and headed to Naples. Naples is a great little city that reminds me a lot of being back home in Pensacola...so it was nice to get there and visit! We met up with a friend from Fort Lauderdale and his mom, and had dinner with his family last night in Marco Island. We even got to squeeze in a few hours at the pool before heading back home and preparing for the daily grind again...

































On me: Gap sheer shirt, American Eagle cutoffs, Tod's sunglasses, Express purse, Forever 21 bracelets, Michael Kors watch, Rainbow sandals

huaca pucllana-fine peruvian dining

Our primero comida en Peru. The restaraunt is stationed on an archaelogical site in Lima. In between dinner and dessert (which you can see were both delectable! I had sea bass and mi hermano had the tuna), we toured the temple ruins.

We met some people from DC, and together we wined and dined like a motley crue of temporary expatriates.

Definitely set the bar for the rest of the meals we ate!

*Side note, as you'll begin to see in the trip's pics, I took full advantage of NOT blow-drying or hairstyling my mane at all.. which those who know me, know that I rarely indulge and usually just let it airdry. BUT, being in a country so in tune with being outdoors, hiking, and living in sweats and basics I definitely took to channeling my inner/outer bohemian

lima…scenery & almuerzo

After a dreadfully late arrival into Lima and a slight mixup with our hotel reservation, we set out the following afternoon to experience the local comida and see some of the sights. The results were mind-blowing ceviche consisting of everything from shrimps to sea urchins, crab to octopus.

One interesting observation--in the middle of John F Kennedy park there is a plaque honoring the relationship of Lima and her hermana cuidad of Pensacola...??!! Upon further investigation, the relationship is actually with the town of Miraflores, which is like a suburb of Lima. Still pretty loca! Its a small mundo after all...

scarpetta

The night antes leaving for Peru we had dinner at Scarpetta in the Fountainbleu Hotel on Miami Beach. Needless to say, it was PHENOMENAL. There's a few days left of Miami Spice for those who want to take advantage...amazing comida and ambiance!
