A k a day in Lima Peru (Day 26)

The days are ticking by and the end of the challenge is in sight. Before we started this challenge we used to do regular exercises in the apartment and had a little routine so we are now planning to mix the two things. In apartment exercise on the days where time is more restricted and a big walk on the days where time is a little less pressing. This is a good time to remember why we are doing this in memory of Robert Rowan and to raise funds for CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) an organisation providing screening and support to young people affected by cardiac issues. Robert (Rab) was a technical director with Brentford Football Club and the husband of Sheila's cousin's daughter Suzanne. Brentford are known as the Bees and this is Rab's logo designed for the occasion. I hope it is clear enough for you to read the significance of all of the bits of the design.

I think it is a great logo incorporating everything that Rab stood for.

Our walk today revisited the area where we saw lots of little birds a few days ago. Once again we were not disappointed to the point that saffron finches, blue grey tanagers and vermillion flycatchers are a bit like sparrows and blackbirds in Scotland. There are hundreds of them. The sun shone as we took a lovely late afternoon stroll down the wooded area. We saw quite a large group (is it a flock) of swallows and the landed on a wire. I managed to get a picture of them resting

and the tennis players at the Lions Club were out in force today. Activities like this seem to be starting up again. We saw the children at the local football club back in their training sessions too.

I am fairly pleased that we are getting to the end because I have pretty much exhausted the photo opportunities in this area. I know that I have a few avid readers though so I might post some less regular missives, especially after travel is less restricted. I am really keen to see a bit more of Peru and I will definitely share it with you.

We are just waiting right now for the Rappi man who is bringing the tea tonight from Chicken Mediterraneo.

OK I am back. The Rappi man came with some delicious chicken and some chips with salad and the freshest ripest avocado and some chucky yucca chips. Mmmmmm tasty. So in between the last paragraph and this I have eaten my tea and done up the dishes.

Today's 5.29km brings us over 140 km total. Our initial target was 31 days of 5k a day so 155 km. We look set to beat that handsomely. As always it just remains to add the strava and say good night. Take care.
