Manual labor


Just down and across the street from us they are doing some remodeling and adding on to this house. Everything is done by manual labor. No Bobcat or electric drills etc. Everything is done by hand. They haul the dirt from the back yard by wheel barrow and put it in a pile on the sidewalk. Then a couple of other guy shovel from the pile into the dump truck one shovel at a time. I have seen 4 or 5 truck loads hauled away.

Inka Shops

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.
