Olive grove park


Our very good friends the Ramirez came to visit.


Not far from our apartment is this beautiful park that stretches for at least 3/4 of a mile full of Olive trees that are at least 500 years old. A fenced area shows how the olives were pressed into oil. In my minds eye I can easily see the Savior in the Garden of Gethsemene by Olive trees. After walking thru part of the park and sitting by a bench to visit next to a large pond with several different fountains, we went to the restaurant Valvadi's to eat. After eating we went back to our apartment and just visited and played the card game golf that my brother Dale had taught us.

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.
