Where to begin?

Hello everyone! I landed safely in Lima a couple of hours ago and it has been a non-stop adventure ever since. As the title reads, I have no idea where to begin. This city (Lima) makes New York City seem slow. Never before have I been in such a chaotic and fast paced environment, but make no mistake, I am loving every second of it. Though I would be hard pressed to explain it, there seems to be a certain order to this madness. The traffic has probably been the most shocking element of the city thusfar. Drivers maneuver their dent ridden vehicles wherever they please without so much as a handsignal, often cutting in front of other cars with inches to spare. Meanwhile, as Lima is almost entirely devoid of crosswalks, pedestrians are left to fend for themselves against the madness of vehicular transit. As one might expect, the locals deal with this with a nonchalant attitude that can only come from experience. Myself and the other tourists can be spotted easily, as we are the ones making a nervous dash to cross the street when the opportunity arises.
I have spent the last hour or so exploring Miraflores, the oceanfront district where my hostel is located. This is universally recognized as being the wealthiest and safest area in Lima, though it is anything but tame. This city, boasting a population around 8 million, is alive with an energy that I have never felt before. I don´t quite know what to make of it yet, but I can say for certain that Peru has met my expectation for adventure with flying colors thusfar. I wish I could write more, but there is much to do and see before nightfall. That, and I am writing this from a second story internet cafe that feels more like a sauna with computers.
Back to the madness, wish me luck. Thanks for reading!
