Chabuca park



The reason that we went down town with the Andersons was to go to Chabuca park. Actually it is a park down in the river bottoms of the Rimac river. It used to be a slum area and very run down. As they got their equipment in to excavate they discovered these old walls of Lima. So these ruins became part of the park. I didn't take any pictures of the park. We stopped at a restaurant to get a drink and then it got dark on us.
Its a beautiful park next to the Rimac river and the railroad tracks that goes up into the Andes mountains.

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.
