New Years Day

On New Years day the Ramirez came

and visited with us. They are serving in the temple and were
in the MTC
with us. But they haven't seen much of Lima yet. So we decided to go to Callao and the ancient Naval fort that goes back to 1747.


The fort is in the shape of the pentagon.














Ft Real Felipe is amazing as well as being huge and filled with lots of history.

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.
