February 2, 2019 – Lima, Peru
Our stop in Lima, Peru is one of the few times where we are in the same port for more than one day.
Another hot day here. We are docked in a very busy port. Cranes are busy unloading shipping containers. It is fascinating to watch. Along side the ship are numerous vendors who set up shops to sell goods to passengers. A musician is playing for tips over a PA system. He is very talented and plays numerous wind instruments. Many I have never seen before.
Out tour today is another archeological site. This one was discovered in the 1980s.

Two different cultures living at different time periods. One thing all of the cultures in this area seem to share is human sacrifice. It was considered to be a privilege to be sacrificed. In these cultures they sacrificed only women. Usually young girls. 8 – 12 years old. These were hard working people that didn’t realize that the good things that they had were from their own hard work. The earth god provided a place to live, the sun god provided warmth and light. It was necessary to pay these “gods” with the most innocent among them.
It was blazing hot out today and we were glad to get back to the ship.
I took this babe to the Main Dining Room for dinner. Bob and Brenda were our guests.
The entertainment was a stand up comedian. We didn’t think he was very funny. I won’t mention his name but we walked out midway through. Not everyone has it.
Did you get the musician’s name? Said he played wind instruments… we need clarinetists, remember?
Great action and pics. You’re on a torrid blog pace. Hard to imagine keeping it up but very fun sharing adventure. I can’t find the uddated map to track you guys. Is it available? Letting us know the time difference is helpful. Enjoy chilly Chile.
