City of Lima

Lima is the capitol city of Peru.  It is a busy city with many people.  The center of Lima is filled with buildings over 300 years old.  They are used mostly by the government. This square holds many demonstrations contesting the high unemployment rate in the country.

The center of the city is filled with shopping and and people.  There are museums and tourists.

The lama is a symbol of Peru.  I did not see any on my first time down to Peru, but will possibly encounter them on my three month stay in this amazing country.

Not only do government buildings date back to hundreds of years ago, but so do some of the cathedrals.
