Misc. Cusco



We ate dinner at a restaurant across the street from our hotel. This girl
posed with us for a quick foto.
The presidents assistants in the provinces, Elders Huamani and Jenkins.

Snow capped mountain we could see out the window. One of the Stake Centers in Cusco.








We walked down the narrow street. Notice how they built on top of the Inca ruins. In any one city there is only one Catholic cathedral. The others are regular churches. This church has the largest golden alter in the world.


This is the Cathedral. They now charge 70 soles or about 25 dollars to go into both of these as a tourist.

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.
