We will briefly get to meet with the President, Alan Garcia Perez.  Notice the Peruvian flag in the background, and on the banner he wears.  The symbols of the flag include the vicuña (representing Inca royalty), the cornucopia (representing wealth), and the arnica plant (representing health).

Here is history of the Presidential Palace.

And here is an external view.

For lunch, we will take a short drive out to the coast, and eat at the Rosa Nautica!
