Real Life Captured #290: Lima Peru! Part Seven (10 photos)

Hey there friends and followers! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After sixteen years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe (and now photograph) the people, food, culture, way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".

Recently I found myself in Lima Peru after spending a month in Playa del Carmen Mexico relaxing on the beach and eating tacos; not sure which was more of the highlight, probably the tacos! Now Lima is not my kind of place to hang around for too long; generally I don't enjoy big cities for more than a week especially those in South America where many neighborhoods can be high crime and a foreigner can easily be targeted.

I originally came to Lima for three days simply to save on a flight to Cancun Mexico. Flying from Guayaquil Ecuador, my previous destination was going to cost 500 more dollars. So I spent three days in Lima and met Gaby who you will see mixed in with some of these photos. She came to Playa Del Carmen and spent a couple weeks with me and then convinced me to come back to Lima to live with her for a month, before we continue traveling the world together.

Having more time in Lima gave me some excellent opportunities to take some Real Life Captured Photos! Lima is a huge mega city with a lot to see and do. I prefer the lifestyle of a fun beach town and sunny weather of Playa del Carmen instead of Lima Peru, but I had a great time anyway especially with Gaby; and the food is really good here! Now come along and lets have a closer look at Lima Peru!
