I'm in Lima...

...after nervously waiting for my flight, hoping Cuzco's weather would
hold out. Because of the altitude (something like 13,000 ft.) it's easy
for flights to be canceled, even due to rain.

I celebrated by eating dinner out, getting a burger and fries (but no
fried cheese or Yucca) at Bembo's, everybody's favorite Peruvian burger
chain.

I also had a pancake with ice cream.

Here in Peru, pancakes are always on the dessert menu. In Guatemala,
they're the main meal, but usually for breakfast or dinner (no
difference between those two meals, really).

One beneficial outcome of possible US-Latin American cultural syncretism
will be a situation where you can eat pancakes three times a day, and
either for the main meal or dessert. Possibly the main meal and dessert.

That, truly, would be progress.
