Trip home



After going through the car museum we decided to all get in sister Elmers SUV. We had 3 elders in the very back, 4 including myself in the middle and sister Elmer and sister Cleverly in the front. Of course the elders wanted something to eat so we stopped at Papa Johns for pizza.
We then went to the museo de oro. Karen and I had been there before. Maybe that explains why I didn't take any pictures.
The elders seem to enjoy it but we wondered as we looked at all the gold how much was real and what was fake. We had seen on TV just a week ago that that people that worked at the gold museum had stolen several pieces of gold and replaced it with fake.

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.
