Hi. I'm Tim Sproule, a plastic surgeon from Toronto who is in Iquitos, Peru to spend a week teaching local doctors and nurses about burn reconstruction and skin grafts.
I arrived very late Saturday night from Toronto via Miami. It was -20ºC when I left Toronto, and about 35ºC in Lima when I arrived! The hotel I had picked was in Miraflores, a district of Lima, and Sunday morning I got up and went for a walk in beautiful sunshine. The first place I encountered was the parc d’amour- the lover’s park, which apparently is the local lover’s lane equivalent. It is commemorated with this huge statue of lovers overlooking a beautiful Pacific Ocean beach. Then I walked over to a pyramid structure from the Incas or some earlier culture which is right in the center of town - an amazing contrast. This country promises to have a lot of rich contrasts like this…
