LIMA, PERU: FLYING PERUVIAN CHIHUAHUA

For my one night in Lima, I stayed at The Flying Dog Hostel. It’s a great place to lay your head and its a nice relaxed atmosphere. I paid 90 PEN ($35) for a double for myself. Obviously, there are much cheaper options. Once settled in my room, I headed down to the very chilled-out bar area where I was confronted by this bug-eyed bar mascot. I searched into my beer bottle for any signs, no matter how remote, of possible spikage. Didn’t see any and looked back up and “Bug-Eye” was still staring at me from atop the bar counter. Welcome to Lima, my friend. Recommend: Flying Dog Hostels of Peru. Across from Parque Kennedy.

I had one day in Lima on the front-end of my Peru trip and decided to use it to walk around the bohemian artists’ district searching for graffiti (not a lot of it, so I assume there are strict fines for grafiteros in Lima) and always looking for a cool vegetarian place to eat. I happened to be across the street facing this gorgeous wooden train car and a big sign on the front that said “Vegetarian Buffet.” It was destiny. For 18 PEN (about $7) you can gorge on an all-u-can-eat buffet for about three hours, if you like. Highly recommend: Cafe Restaurant Expreso Virgen de Guadalupe. Located: Ave. Prolongation St. Martin 15-A.
