A k a day in Lima Peru (Day 24)

 A bike run was needed today to fit the 5k into the schedule because I had a return visit to the dentist to have my crown fitted. After getting the panoramic x-ray she has decided that I have a load more work needing done. So there are a couple of possibilities. (a) she fancies me and wants to keep me in the chair or (b) she sees me as easy meat to fleece for a few bob or I suppose (c) that I actually do need this work done. I am going to get it done which means that (a) I fancy her or (b) I love chucking money away or I suppose (c) I really do need to get the work done. You can delete the (a) (b) (c)s as you think fit.

So it's back into the archive from yesterday. Our walk as you know took us through that green bit where the river flowed. Well it is the law that you are not allowed to cross the "irrigation canal". It says so on this sign.

We came across the residences of some elusive creatures which can only be seen on very special days. They are not often seen and we were unlucky on this occasion. They live here:

Wow, I almost forgot to mention the most amazing thing that happened this morning. All the Limans (what would you call a resident of Lima? A Liman, Limonian, who knows?) Anyway they were all of a tizz this morning because there was thunder and lightning in Lima. Apparently it is an every 10-15 YEARS occurrence and most of the students had no idea what it was. They thought it was an earthquake or the end of the world. Some of them were really quite shaken up and even the adults were pretty excited. Very little rain but real thunder and lightning. I tried to capture it on my iPad but as always it didn't happen while the record button was pressed.
I am a bit late with today's episode due to my action packed schedule and my dental rendezvous so I am going to cut it short today and leave you with the usual strava. What will tomorrow bring? I wonder?
