Sunday we are up and off to the end of the Metro in this part of the city to the Las Dominicos church and the pueblito (little village) that has been turned into a touristy craft market. Lapis lazuli is a big item here and there are a huge number of jewelers making some beautiful pieces and also lots of unimpressive but not inexpensive pieces too. Beautiful weaving is everywhere, again with impressive prices too. Mostly llama wool but also combinations of llama, silk, cotton, linen in beautiful scarves, wraps and clothing.
After a siesta, we are off to walk around the neighborhood to find a place to eat. Not easy. Sunday evening, everything is closed down! We finally find an Italian restaurant attached to a big hotel and try the local conger eel which is just like a slab of fish, no bones, quite good
