I finally made it to Lima, where I am staying at the Antigua Miraflores Hotel. Because no one sleeps well on a long flight—regardless of what they may claim—I am a bit groggy. All the more so as I have just made the acquaintance of the Peruvian national drink, the Pisco Sour, a brandy and egg white cocktail that is as smooth as a baby’s bum.
Today was dedicated to cleaning up loose ends. I got lost several times, and I covered approximately ten miles on foot, but I did manage to
- Locate the South American Explorers, which had moved a mile from its old 135 Piura adress.
- Obtain my train ticket for the Andean Explorer route between Puno and Cusco
- Buy some prescription meds over the counter that my pharmacy muffed back in Los Angeles
Tomorrow, I visit the Museo Larco and the National Museum of Anthropology, which should pretty much take up the whole day.
i gather the trip is going well at this point.
So far so good, Fred!
There’s a Peruvian restaurant in Tucson and I see that it claims to be the only restaurant in town that features the Pisco Sour. Would you recommend trying one the next time I’m there?
Pisco Sours can be delicious, if they get the right pisco from Peru.
I think it is Pisco Quierolo.
