Lima is divided up into Districts, Josh works in La Victoria it's right next to the District that we live in, San Borja. We enjoy visiting Barranco and Miraflores every now and then with the kids, and Josh and I visit the Centro of Lima frequently (District Lima). We have team members in Los Olivos and just recently Cailtlin found a nice place for herself in Lince. So the team is scattered about everywhere now.
Our Neighborhood of San Borja is a small middle class district. Our neighbors actually just moved into San Borja from La Victoria, something that they are very proud of. San Borja is rather nice there are parks everywhere, Starbucks on almost ever corner (not every but there are ALOT). There is a large government building by our house called the Pentagonito (Cuartel General del Ejercito del Perú) they have a park and LOTS of fitness classes and fitness events around it.
Our neighborhood is very quiet and tranquil, we've been told this on many occasions when we have people at the house during the evening. Although during the day we may have something like 20 people working in the park to cut the grass and flowers, and or a guy on a bike riding around blowing a whistle for people to know that he's around to sharpen knives. Our ice cream man is also different here there isn't a big truck that plays music, we have a guy on a bike with a freezer on the front and instead of annoying loud kids songs he blows a whistle that sounds like a duck quacking. Another fun thing our recycling truck plays the Celine Dion song from Titanic too.
We like our neighborhood, and feel safe living here. We are walking distance from the kids school and from a lot of other things that we can do as a family. We wish you could all visit so you can experience everything that Lima is.
