Rich and I get a ride on a launch from the boat into the yacht club. This is nice since we do not have to inflate the dingy. There are 350 boats in the mooring field.
The Yacht Club Peruano is over 150 years old. It has been visited by notable sailors such as Tristan Jones and now us.
La Punta is a bedroom community with many beautiful and historic home such as these on the esplanade.
We grabbed a bus to Plaza San Miguel and then a taxi into Plaza de Armes of historic downtown Lima. Our taxi driver was a bit mischievous. He would drive up close to the side of another car, reach his hand out an bump it. The driver of the other vehicle would immediately start looking around trying to figure out who hit his car and if he had been rear-ended. Our driver would look innocently back. He did this several times. Once the other car stopped and the driver was sure he had been rear-ended as we quickly drove away.
We watched the changing of the guard at the Presidential Palace with much pomp and circumstance. Also on the same plaza is the Cathedral of Lima and the Palace of the Archbishop. We toured through both site which date to 1535 and much older than anything in the United States.
