Day 2: Paddington Bear: from the jungles of Peru...

We saw Paddington Bear yesterday in Miraflores, a shopping area and city along the coast. Remember Paddington Bear was sent from the Jungles of Peru to the UK. We might have felt a little like Paddington Bear yesterday, when he first landed in London, as we wandered around Miraflores and the surrounding shopping center. The kids did great with a long day of walking, a Burger King stop and looking through local craft markets. It really was interesting. Both of them found Alpaca "treasurers" to bring home with them.
We took a taxi from La Molina to Miraflores in the morning and then managed to find our way home via taxi and two different buses. It was the first time Carter and Brook have taken a taxi or public bus. Great experience and we got to practice a little Spanish. Peruvians are very friendly and a number of times offered help when we "looked lost". :) We had a great day of adventure and ended it back at the Bosch's house with some Peru vs Colombia futbol & Papa John's pizza.
