Huaca Arco Iris is a religious monument. Also called Huaca del Dragon because the figures on the walls take the form of a dragon.

| This little man makes the items he sells in his gift shop. Some were very nice and they were reasonably priced. We bought a few things from him including the bird whistle in the picture below. We also picked up another larger vase at the Apiat.  |

On Tuesday the Comedor opened in our Albergue. Since we don't have a cafeteria, this is the next best thing. They have hired a group of ladies to cook for workers and patrons on the days the temple is open. They are open from 7 am to 7 pm and the food is good and cheap. We got all this food for 15 soles ($4.53) and we had already started eating when I took the picture. We couldn't even eat it all.

| The Rodriguiz's. He is one of our Sealers and was just called as the Patriarch of the Trujillo, Peru Central Stake. |

| The Nields with their friends the Nevilles. They have been serving in the Cordoba, Argentina Temple and stopped here on their way home to California. Sister Nield took a tumble in the tunnel on her way to the temple one day. She ended up in the Emergency room here and had to see a Neurologist. She is slowly improving. Today after our shift we went to the Caramel Cafe. They have some good sandwiches and desserts. They even have milkshakes, the only place we have found them in Trujillo. We shared a club sandwich (they put fried egg on them) and a milkshake. It was almost 2:30 pm so we were the only ones eating. |

We just can't get over the way they put up the electrical wiring in this city.

| The sign says, "dangerous, high voltage". The tank on that roof is their water storage. It has to be high on the roof so they can get some water pressure.A typical sidewalk. You always need to look down when you walk or you might break your leg. This sidewalk is in front of one of the nicer houses. |

| This is the how most of the countryside looks around Trujillo. We have not seen a drop of rain in five months. El Nino is supposed to arrive this month so we should see lots of rain in the near future. We really don't know what to expect. |
