Breakfast


Yesterday on Saturday sister Montoya and sister Cantenada took us out for breakfast. These two sisters are from our Magdalena ward. Sister Montoya joined the church the year I left Peru in 1963. Her husband was one of the first bishops in Peru.
They took us to this Peruvian cafe at about 9:15 am. The place was packed. We had deep fried pork, a bowl full of onion, bread, a smothie type drink. We also had a tamale. Inside was a real hot pepper that Karen got that literally took her breath away.

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.
