Beauty Salon



Karen went to the hair dresser and ask that he only cut 1/4 of an inch. He asked if she wanted that much off or her hair just that long. Everyone laughed. Come to find out he was serious. The longest her hair is on top is 1 1/2 inches. He tried to give her one row of spikes down the middle of her head but she told him "No! Soy una abuela no soy chica!" or in English "No, I am a grandmother not a young girl." She fusses everyday about her hair when she does it. On the bright side she won't need another haircut for a couple of months! :-)

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.
