P day 12-12-09

Charo our mission foot doctor invited us to dinner today. We had a fun visit and a very fun time. Charo is not a member of the church but she has the Book of Mormon and has attended our meetings. I am trying to talk her in to letting us teach her the lessons. She is Catholic but is such a nice person she might as well be a member. Her sister is a member and lives in our Magdalena ward.

This is Charo's Christmas tree. Charo has such a nice two bedroom apartment. She has been divorced now for at least 20+ years. Her son that is 34 lives with her.

We saw this Christmas tree down the street from Charo's in Miraflora.

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.
