During mid-afternoon on January 7, 2012, Brad and I took a city tour of Lima. After visiting the Plaza San Martin, we headed to the Plaza Mayor. The Plaza de Armas of Lima (Plaza Mayor) is the birthplace of the city of Lima. It is located in the Historic Center of Lima and is surrounded by the Government Palace, Cathedral of Lima, Archbishop's Palace (Palacio Arzobispal) of Lima, Municipal Palace, and the Palace of the Union. Brad took a closeup shot of this coat of arms that we saw on the facade of Lima's neo-colonial style Municipal Palace (Palacio Municipal de Lima) or City Hall (Lima's governing body). Temperatures were in the upper 80's on this overcast, humid afternoon.
