Tour of Lima 9-14-09

We were priveledged to be invited to go with the mission presidents on a tour of Lima. We were with Pres. and Sister Leyva - East mission, Pres. and Sister Manning - South mission and Pres. and Sister Tyler and daughters - Central mission.

We rode on the upper deck of this bus. It was a very beautiful day with lots of sunshine. In fact I didn't have a hat and got sunburned on my head.

Some ruins in Miraflores.

I had to take a picture of this hotel.

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.
