So they came by our place and we went to lunch at our "new favorite huarique" (hole in the wall) where we all enjoyed a good lunch for about 10 soles ($4 US) each. Gene and I shared a "Combo #6, which was a big portion of ceviche and a generous serving of arroz con mariscos (rice with seafood). After lunch we walked a block up the street to the huaca. Strangely enough we've lived here half a year now and had never visited the huaca which is 4 blocks from our apartment. So more on the huaca later, because it is a fascinating place. 
After our tour of the huaca, we decided that we really deserved ice cream! The 3-block walk to the heladeria (ice cream parlor) took us by one of my favorite little corner markets, which just happens to be next to a building that we once considered buying in. Lea and I stopped by to check it out. The building was nice, quality wood floors and doors, fabulous view of the huaca from the balcony. Nice area near the cupola, the heladeria and everything else. But what I remembered was that we had rejected it originally because of its size. The apartments are truly miniscule - actually made our apartment seem spacious! And by the way, the price was just about the same as the one we bought.At the end of the next block is the cupola, the beautiful church which is the main landmark of Magdalena del Mar. And then the following block has enough diversity in its architecture to make me realize that I truly do not need to travel elsewhere to find new sources of photography subjects.
And another great day ends at the best heladeria in Lima, just 4 blocks from our apartment.
