WHY LIMA?
lima1There are many things that you will find confusing in not only Lima, but the whole country of Peru as well, starting with its twisted and convoluted history, its fascinating if sometimes unappreciated ethnic mix of its population, all the way down to its mad drivers who create one of the worst traffic nightmares in any country I’ve visited. When you cross the street, do it with 3 or 4 others at the same time—maybe the crazy motorists will veer away from you.

Not a very attractive group, as a rule. The Peruvians I know personally are of European or mixed descent, and have white skins, reflecting their Spanish, Italian or German backgrounds. They consider themselves FAR above Indians as a class. (But I’ve noticed this in
