P day to Gamarra and bowling

While we were at Larco Mar and where we bowled.

Just after we finished bowling. L to R. Carolina Leiva, Ed Tyler, Melissa Tyler, Elder Huamani, Elder Cooke, Elder Hales, Rebekah Tyler and Elder Cleverly.

Ed, Carolina, Melissa, Elder Hales, Elder Huamani, Rebekah, Elder Hales and Elder Cooke.To day for our P day we went to Gamarra. We being the Zone leaders, elders Cooke and Huamani, Office elders, Hales and Malalee, the three Tyler children, Edward, Rebekah and Melissa and myself. Karen stayed home because she wanted to clean the house and prepare dinner for them.
Gamarra is quite a unique place. It goes on for blocks and blocks in every direction. There are literally thousands and thousands of shops and thousands of people shopping.

A shop across the street where they sell yarn etc.
Melissa and Rebekah had been talking to these two young men that promised to come to church tomorrow.

After visiting at Gamarra we went to another place across from the Water Park. This large 3 story building that sold nothing but shoes. Hundreds and hundreds of shops.

From there we went to Larco Mar and bowled two games. The first game I had the high score of the nine of us with a 122. The second game I was second with 134.


From bowling we went to our place where Karen had dinner prepared for them including strawberry short cake.

Inka Shops
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.
