Christmas morning

We received stockings filled with fun goodies from friends who
taught and baptized Karen and her family.
Our Christmas tree was made from hand prints of our kids and grandkids. We have decided to keep it up all year. We have some additions coming and it will be fun watching it grow. One gift that was very special and a surprise was from Noemi, our adopted granddaughter. She gave us some home made Peruvian Christmas ornaments. During the morning and early afternoon we called our kids and other friends on Skype on our computer.

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.
