Some days ago we went with Claudia and Carmen (two sisters) to the center of Lima, which is an own district. The city is really huge, it takes 1,5 hours to reach downtown by bus from where I live... There are a lot of great buildings in the center which were built when Peru was a spanish colony. We visited a cathedral and went down into the catacombs.. there was a bad smell of dead people and kinda dark and disgusting... Underneath the altar of the church the most important people were buried.

Peru is heavily influenced by the Spain, which is really strange since its so far away. Especially the center of Lima with all its european architecture show how much power the spanish men had.

I managed to post 5 more pictures in the Lima album! Hurray... it takes forever to download. I would wish to show all the pictures I have, but it takes too long, I am sorry.
