lima, cerro san cristobal

A view over the city of Lima from the centrally located San Cristobal hill. This is a fairly typical scene: bare stony slopes, clustered single- or double-story houses, and the omnipresent wintertime mist. Lima is not a beautiful city. Interesting...but not beautiful. Well, with some beautiful parts, naturally, but on the whole not beautiful. I mean, it's just not.
