We watched General Conference this weekend in the home of President and Sister Bowman which is on the temple grounds. Following the afternoon session we were escorted around the grounds and inside the temple. I have been here twice before but enjoyed the personal tour. In the photo from left to right are President and Sister Blaine Stratton, RuthAnn, and President Bowman. The grounds and flowers are beautiful. We have about a month with the President before he and Sister Bowman are released and return home to the states. They have been gone for sometime as his service has included directing the MTC here in Lima, as a counselor in the temple presidency, and a mission president among other things. We will learn as much as we can from them in the time remaining. We also met the other North Americans serving as workers in the temple.
Saturday afternoon we made two trips to the local and very nice Tottus Market a couple blocks away from out apartment. It may take us some months to discover the various fruits, vegetables, cheeses, breads and more here in Peru. The isle in the photograph is all about pappas or potatoes. We'll need a guide to help us with the subtleties and differences of these and many other things here.
Yes, these are all potatoes, many colors, shapes, flavors and sizes.
