Docked later than expected this AM. A submarine and some Military ships were in the harbor & we had to wait for them to leave before we could approach. Interesting, especially since Peru does not have an army???
Went to the Artists of Barranco District rather refreshing since the area was hustling & bustling with people who seemed to be dressed appropriately and have a purpose.
Visited the home of Victor Delfin an 88 yr old renowned local artist. His air is bold and dramatic and is done in many different mediums from oils to steel sculptures. Every "everyday" item in his home became a piece of art!
Next we visited the Gallery of a famous Peruvian artist, Mario Testino one of the most influential fashion photographers of our time.
We enjoyed some free time around the main square as well.
What was different about today was that we got to see a bit of the working class as well as the people and their works that the country takes pride in.
