    • Favorite Thing: While wandering around a market, I stopped to listen in to a shopkeepers TV where I learned that Peru is the number one destination for Americans going overseas for plastic surgery. Apparently, plastic surgery is big among Lima's upper classes. The surgeons are considere very adept and cheap by U.S. standards, so Americans are flocking to Lima for tummy tucks, breast implants and face lifts. Be careful, however, four Americans have died over the last five years, all receiving liposuction.
    Just for the record, neither of us visited a medical professional while in Peru.

     it is hard to walk around that heat with pants. My best purchase was hiking pants that have zippers below the knee. Not the baggy kind, straight leg,you can fold the legs and put them in a pocket or backpack.    		sachara Fri Apr 6, 2007 20:29 UTC
     Interesting Lima page. It's allready some years ago that I visited this place, but I didn't find the time (yet) to build a page.
