Traffic each morning











On Monday as we were going to the office we took a picture of the traffic. Each street is like this for the morning and evening commute. Notice all of the buses. Looking up and down the street as far as you can see are all of these buses. This is the kind that we ride when we go to church or over to the Area offices or temple. We can go on the bus for about 60 cents each.

Also at the bottom of our street is the Mexican Embassy. The police stand guard 24/7. On Monday as we were passing this police office he said in broken English "are you from Utah?" Come to find out he is a member of the church. That is a real gun with real bullets.

Inka Shops

Inka Shops
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.
