Thanksgiving dinner one week early







We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving a week early. The Elmers were going to be gone on Thanksgiving Day as sister Elmer would be in Salt Lake City to a sons wedding in the Salt Lake temple and the president would be in the Provinces. So she decided to surprise him with a turkey dinner with all the trimmings the day before she left. It was a complete surprise to the president. He was having a training meeting (all day long) with his assistants and sister Elmer invited the office staff and the assistants to the dinner. We did this the 19th of November. While at the presidents apartment on the 19th floor I took these pictures. The Elmers live across the street from the San Isidro golf course.

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.
