| Our StarPeru plane and the volcano! |
We arrived back in Lima on a flight from Arequipa in the afternoon. Some of these pics are from the Arequipa airport (notice the volcano and with the plane in view!
Christmas Eve 2011 After having time to rest a little, wrap presents, etc., one of Beth's friends from DeKalb College in the early 1980s, Fabrizio Jeri Suito, came and picked us up to spend the Noche Bueno (Christmas Eve) celebration at his house. It was great to see him after all of these years - neither of us look the same! haha He has a beautiful home and a beautiful family. His wife, Jolly, and his three kids - Fabrizio, Romina & Paloma - along with Jolly's Mother and other family members were at the house. We ate late in the latin fashion for Christmas Eve, opened presents about midnight, and got back to the hotel about 2am. As I had mentioned before, we are staying at the
Basadre Suites Hotel in Lima We slept late in the morning, had breakfast at the hotel and then walked around the area in San Isidro where the hotel is located. Wow - it is beautiful!!! This area has beautiful old homes and many of the Ambassador residences and Embassies from around the world. You will see some of them in the pictures. Fabrizio picked us up to go to his house for Christmas lunch with his family. We had a great time meeting his side of the family (Christmas Eve was with Jolly's family). Before heading back to his house, we drove down to the beach. It was amazing how many folks were out with their families at the beach. All of the restaurants in Miraflores and the beach areas were open for business and you would never have known it was Christmas Day. Enjoy our Christmas Pictures:
