The next days the Angels shopped their wallets off at the Miraflores Andean markets. We then went to the Club Regatas Lima, which is a private beach and sports club that Alberto belongs to, which has several top rated restaurants and a nice bar on the 7th floor overlooking the Lima coast.

We then went back to the hotel and had a phenomenal dinner organized by Alberto's nephew Luchito. The dinner was a degustation prepared by the Maras restaurant at the Westin Hotel in Lima. The chef of this restaurant is Rafael Piqueras, one of the best Peruvian chefs and former chef of Fusion. We had an amazing combination of dishes from seafood, to tiraditos and tuna tartar, to ox tail. One dish had raw tuna, which was spot chilled with nitrogen gas. They then poured nitrogen on the olive oil, which froze the oil into crunchy crystals that were served on top of the tuna, which basically melted in your mouth. Amazing gastronomic experience. After that, Elaine left for the airport. The next day was a family day, a little more shopping at Larcomar, which is a great shopping center with awesome water views. Then Regina left the next day. Alberto and Delphine stayed a few more days to visit family and friends.
