Feb 9th - With the Davis

While we were in the MTC in Provo we met John and Ana Marie Davis from Boise, Idaho. By the way their Stake President is Douglas Stoddard Rose and his wife Ruth Jordan were in the Andes mission lo so many years ago. Any way the Davis have been serving in Chile and stopped by in Peru on their way home.


We met them at the airport on their way back from Cusco. We took them to one of our favorite restaurants, Mangos that over looks the ocean in Miraflores. While there the Slingerlands came and joined us. Doctor Slingerland is the Area doctor and prior to this mission he served in Chile.


The Davis and Slingerlands knew a lot of people in common in Santiago.

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.
