12-31-2009

We ended the year by going to "La Bistecca" restaurant to eat lunch. It was Nadine Ramirez birthday. We were joined by the Tylers, Cordons and the Ramirez.

In the evening we joined up with the Temple bunch and played games until 11:45.
We then went up on the roof and had a 360 degree view of the fireworks display all over the city. Every neighborhood was doing their own thing.
This was the group of us up on the roof.
You could see fireworks all over the city, both near and far.

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.
