Today, Jeremiah, one of our esteemed students ordered what he thought was beef tenderloin but in reality was a beef heart all while having a beautiful ocean view at Pardo’s Chicken. The beef heart proved to be delicious  but chewy.  
 
After this delicious meal, we all walked about 8 blocks together towards the Parque de Amor on la Costa Verde (the ocean). It is amazing that although Lima isn’t much above sea leve, the cliffs above ocean are amazingly sheer, towering behemoths that lift the city out of the misty sea. We wandered through the parks including Parque de Amor down the sheer cliffs to the beach of large pebbles. The sound of the tide on the pebbles is astounding, a soothing Zen sound that reaches to the soul. Although dirty the pebbled beach conveys a calm atmosphere where waves crash and fishermen fight for territory.
 
Oh, speaking of fighting while we were enjoying the waves, several fishermen ran towards a rowboat riding the rolling waves. As the waves crashed, the fishermen rowed towards the other fisherman while yelling and hollering insults about whose territory the area pertains too. We all enjoyed a brief Seinfeld moment.
