Firefighters

Today, on Liz's second and last day here, she and I went to visit the house of the Lima 4 fire company, one of 87 stations in Lima. There we spoke to volunteer firefighters Sebastián and Giordano, both lieutenants, and Giuliano, a probationary firefighter like Liz.

Liz gave the station some patches from Santa Rosa Fire and, I think, CDF, and compared notes with her Peruvian counterparts.

Firefighters' Monument

Today Liz wanted to go to Miraflores and walk around before heading to Toti's for lunch, so that's what we did. We took our niece, Betticha, and nephew, Benji, along. Diego decided to come along and he drove us there. We ended up having ice cream even though it is butt-cold here today.

After a delicious lunch made by my aunt Marina, Liz and I walked from the residencial to a nearby café, only to find it closed on Mondays. Instead, we headed to a nearby pizzeria, La Romana, and ordered coffee and garlic toast.

Pepped up by our snack we set off in search of a fire station that Liz had visited some years back. We didn't find it, but we did manage to take some photos of Liz at the monument in the Firefighters' Park (Parque de los Bomberos) in the nearby district of Lince.
