Final photos of the convent and lunch

The tour of the convent ends in the main cloister, the largest of the three cloisters.  It was built between 1715 and 1721 and contains  31 paintings relating to the lives of the Virgin Mary and Jesus. 

I couldn’t go to the convent's main church as they were filming in there, so I returned to the entrance where Mark was waiting for me.  I had thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

From the convent, we found a nice local restaurant for lunch.  We sat outside enjoying the sunshine.  We both ordered the menu del dia for 25 soles (about £5).  Mark had asparagus soup to start, and I had salad.  For mains, Mark ordered rocotto relleno, a stuffed pepper, and I had beef tacos with guacamole.  The dessert of the day was ice cream with popping candy!  It was all very good!Read more
