The Olive Grove Park

Reunited with some travel friends from Cusco who had the dollar enough to do the NASCA LINES we walked along the Avenida Conquistadores to get the this park and to see some Peruvian designers clothing shops along the way - I was keen to see what was on offer, I like clothes and I was interested to see the non-llama printed, knitted take on Peruvian fashion.

The form of olive trees is so beautiful, twisted, knotted, slanting and so old, I find them enchanting, like they hold a lot of secrets. They are so intrinsically mediterranean in my mind, it seems like the strangest colonial hangover that you can find a park like this in the middle of Lima.
