12-22-09 Puerto Maldonado Christmas


Even the best missionaries get tired and need a nap.
All the travel in Puerto is by walking, motor bike or moto taxi.




We had this scrumptous meal all prepared by the Tipiani's. They go home on next changes. They are Peruvian but live in US.


Sister Tipiani made these bags that the sisters and Pres. and Sis. Tyler are wearing.


The shower in our hotel and how the water is heated. All the sisters at Puerto Maldonado.

Our hotel room. Puerto is in the jungle.




Entrance into our hotel Cabana Quinta and lobby. Moto taxi in front.




See the jungle in the background. This is the air tower at the airport.

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.
