I made it to Lima in the early hours of Monday morning.

This flower is called Copa de Oro, Cup of Gold.

This isn't my first time in Peru; I spent about a year and a half here as a Peace Corps volunteer.

A very healthy corn palm.

I've already started work in the office of Bioversity International here - which is on the grounds of CIP, Centro Internacional de la Papa (International Potato Center). I'm taking my first concrete steps towards the interviews and school visits that I plan to undertake as an integral part of the research, as well as ironing out more of my literature review.

In my few off hours I've been reacquainting myself with the country and rediscovering things I had half-forgotten.

On a street near where I am living; the flowers on top of the white wall are called Papelio; there is a rose in the middle ground and a bunch of other stuff I have no names for in bloom.
