LIMA (12th day of our journey)

Took a city tour today.
Saw 2 Cathedrals that date back to the 1500's. Both restored after wars and earthquakes. Amazing to see the detail in the restorations.
The Cathedrals were well worth seeing and all the while our guide was explaining the pomp and circumstance and showing us the elaborate Silver and Gold Floats that they parade through the streets on All Saints day Nov. 2nd, I could not help but think about the cross over between the indigenous Chan Chan holiday, on Nov 1, that I wrote about earlier. Also, even though the Indians worshiped the Sun, the Moon & the Stars and the Christians worship only one G-d, the Cathedrals resembled the Temples in that they both were a labyrinth of rooms dedicated to reverence of the dead.
Otherwise, Lima is a very busy place with lots of traffic and bad drivers just like in Florida.
No pictures today. They do not seem to be able to download?

AT SEA (13th day of our journey)
Today is the 1st of 4 days at sea.
As I am writing we are 200 nautical miles off the coast of Peru. The humidity is gone, the water is kind of rolling along, and the sky is a fluffy shade of blue...
