Construction across the street

Last February the businesses, apartments and 3 homes were all vacated.This last week they came in and started tearing them all down. We were told that a 5 star hotel would be built on the sight.

The track come off of the tractor on the right.
We will keep you updated as the construction progresses. I was afraid that they were going to tear everything down one brick at a time but alass they brought in 3 tractors and 8 big dump trucks.

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.
