http://vagablonding.com/peru/parque-kennedy-cats-in-lima
Parque Kennedy Cats in Lima. Parque Kennedy is very close to our hotel in central Miraflores, and it’s the BEST. PARK. EVER. This well manicured park looks like nothing special before you step in it, but it’s home to over 100 cats! The cats have been roaming all over the park, which is about the size of a city block, for 25 years. These well-loved kitties are taken care of by a nonprofit group called Kennedy Park Kittens. There are adoption evens at the park weekly. Feed You can leave a response.

On March 29th, 2010 by Vagablonding – Be the first to comment. A heavy blanket of snow covered Beijing, China on Sunday, March 14th. My flight to Beijing out of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the morning of Monday, March 15th, was delayed 6 hours. I had a 6 hour 20 minute layover in Beijing, so we landed 20 minutes before my next flight left, not enough time to catch it. I proceeded to the Air China ticket counter on the Departures level. There they had me wait with 8 or so other people to be taken to a h...

Lake Titicaca Islands and Homestay. On the 23rd we took the Inka Express Bus. From Cusco to Puno for 10 hours. Look for a post on that later. We met up with our Gap Adventures. Representative at our hotel, Balsa Inn, to go over the details of our Lake Titicaca Islands tour and Homestay. The name means grey (kaka) puma (titi) in the local language because the outline of the lake looks like a puma chasing a rabbit. However, if you say it wrong you’re saying puma poop. They have a cat. Our next stop was Taq...

By the end of the day I decided it was time to go ahead and medicate with immodium, pepto, and lots of water. In Alajuela we staye...

Steps built into the stone walls:. A wid...
