A k a day in Lima Peru (Day 28)

 Yesterday brought with it some issues with the blog and it would not process the uploaded images resulting in very late posting of the blog page. I just updated the link that said it might be delayed but I hope you managed to catch it. Today has been once again overcast. Has summer really gone this time?

We are nearing the end but I still have one or two things to share. The cycle way was pretty empty today as we made our way along a well worn route by now. It will be a very different story on Sunday which will be only one week before the elections. We can only watch from a distance and hope that it doesn't turn out as bad as is forecast when the result is announced.

As I have previously reported we have found a small green area where we never fail to see a lot of birds and today I managed to capture some footage of the stunning vermillion flycatcher doing what it does best - catching flies. You will notice that the bird waits for me to tell it to go and then obeys my command. Pretty impressive training I think.

We have also managed to make a new breakthrough on my balcony bird feed station. Up top now it has only been black birds that have been seen greedily munching their way through my crackers and digestives but today I was treated to a visit my Mr and Mrs Saffron Finch. I am sure that they, like the blackbirds, will tell their pals and it won't be long before we have pictures for you.

I managed to take a picture of probably the biggest thing on our whole walk from a different perspective today. The Pentagonito is a pretty impressive building. I wish I could get some photos of the inner area. It looks really smart through the railings but I don't want to just go up and take pictures in case I end up seeing much more of the inside than I had bargained for.

Our house is pretty much straight in the direction this photo is pointing. Three more days, three more blog posts. Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over ... but it isn't quite yet.

Today's 5k puts us over the magical 150 km which means we have officially completed the challenge because you can catch up missed km on a different day etc. But we are determined to do our 5k every day so it is heads down for the final countdown.

Hasta luego mis amigos
