Thursday March 31, 2011 We had breakfast of a pastry that was a carmel, leche (milk) topping - and of course pineapple juice - we then walked over to Carpios. We all got in the Nissan truck and went to Minesview park ( where there used to be gold mined) We went up to the top of the mountain - took pictures of the mountains - then dressed in native costume and took pictures - then we shopped for souveniors - ate corn on the cob that was boiled and on a stick.
