Out for a walk


Last week as we were walking to the grocery store Vivanda, we saw the following. I remembered when I was a young elder that we had a Poinsetta tree by our branch in Mariategui. We saw a Poinsetta tree, though not very healthy on our walk.



There was this girl selling Artichokes. We stopped and Karen bought a couple of them and had them for dinner the next day.

The weather is starting to get cooler. Today is equivalent to November 30th back home. The high is in the middle 60's. The difference between summer and winter is the sun doesn't shine in the winter. It is always overcast and foggy in the morning.

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.
