Lima, Peru

On our way back to Quito we had a 13 hour layover in Lima. Rather than sitting in the airport that whole time, we decided to go check out some of Lima. Since Josh had been there a few months previous for a Fulbright conference, he knew a nice place to take us in the Miraflores neighborhood which is supposed to be really nice and safe. We walked around a big outdoor mall that overlooked the ocean. It was beautiful, and we saw a bunch of parasailers, too.

Then we walked a few blocks to a big park. They had a large children's playground, and Owen was in heaven! After so much time being strapped up in our baby carrier he was more than ready to be able to crawl around. We were so excited for all the playground equipment for him to explore, but what does he go straight for?? The strollers!! He just LOVES playing with the wheels on anything. It was really hard for us to pull him away from them, but eventually he started to warm up to the slides a little.
