Trip to Andahuaylas 2-15/16-2010



We found out how beautiful Peru is. We flew to Andahuaylas to inspect the missionaries apartments. We were on the same plane with President and sister Tyler and elder Jenkins. The plane is like the plane from the TV sitcom Wings. The flight took about 1 and 1/2 hours.



There are 9 rows and the plane holds 18 people.






Welcome to Andahuaylas. It is the summer but at the same time it is the rainy season. Everything is this luxurios green.






From the plane looking down before we landed.








Andahuaylas is in a bowl and this is looking up to the hills.







While we were out inspecting the rooms it started to rain.








Some of these pictures are taken while I am standing in the yard of the chapel.







The missionaries from Abancay came and the president interviewed them also. We all ate at this Chifa and then the missionaries from Abancay went back. About a 4 hour bus ride.




President Flores is president of the Andahuaylas District. When you see him he always says, "Que tal Andahuaylas"!!

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.
