Waki







During the week Waki, owner of Lamoni Tours, told us that on Saturday he would take us on a tour of Lima for free. Waki and Lamoni Tours does all of the transportation for all four of the missions here in Lima. He provides transportaion for the missionaries from the MTC to the offices. From the offices to the airport, etc. He told us that if any family or friends came down he would have by far the least expensive transportation from Lima to Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Karen and I along with the 2 elders working in the office headed out. He first took us to the ocean and down by the water. Then off to Pachacamac. From there he took us to a Columbian restaurant to eat. Waki paid for everything. We had a very fun and enlightening time. Unfortunately we didn't see much of Lima as we spent most of our time at Pachacamac.

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.
