First P day with the Tylers


We decided to celebrate the 4th of July down here. Karen put it all together. She made a potatoe salad and a corn salad. I went to KFC and bought a couple of buckets of chicken. Also coleslaw and french fries came with it. Drinks, brownies and chocalte chip cookies that Karen made. We decided to go the Ancient Olive Tree park. Just as we put all of our food out to eat and had filled our plates, three policeman came and said that we couldn't eat in the park. So we gathered everything up and went back to the Presidents house to finish eating.

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.
