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. From the Plaza with its well known colonial fountain (lower left), I took this shot of an iconic sight in Lima, the enormous hilltop cross, Cerro San Cristobal, which overlooks the Rimac River and can be seen for miles. Temperatures were in the upper 80's on this overcast, humid afternoon.
