Park with Fernando







On Saturday night we went to a park that had all of these colored lights. It was very impressive. We took Frenando with us.














Karen has sent out an e-mail to everyone. This weekend was General Conference. We watched the Saturday session on our computers. In between the two sessions the elders from the office came for dinner along with the assistants to the president. Karen had made stew, a salad, rolls and about 7 dozen cookies. Of course the elders ate about everything. In the evening I went to General Priesthood meeting at the Magdalena Stake Center. It was very much like at home. The chapel was completely full.
Today we went to the MTC in the Area Office complex to watch conference. All the North American couples here go together to watch conference in English. Between the two sessions we ate at the MTC Cafeteria.

There are hundreds and hundreds of little vendors selling their wares from clothing, dolls, purses, jewelry etc. We didn't buy anything but got a good idea of some of the things that they have.

One of many highways in Lima. This is Avenida Arequipa that runs north and south. Maybe 9-10 blocks from our apartment. During rush hour this road will be packed.

On our P-day we went to Miraflores and ate at a fantastic restaurant just above the cliff. The tall building in the background is the Marriott hotel. The name of the restaurant was Mangos. It was buffet.
