I can´t believe we´ve only been in Lima for going on three days! I feel like we´ve been here for weeks, and I am loving every minute of it. Yesterday, Carmen picked us up and we went to the government buildings to see everything. The buildings were absolutely beautiful, as everything in Lima has been so far. We went to the Artisan market after and we made some awesome purchases! Megan and I bought some cute purses, Jenna bought an awesome bracelet, Jason bought some presents and Sean bought a really awesome painting. It was so neat to see so many colourful objects for sale. After this, we went to this mall by the beach. The divide here in Peru is unreal. You can walk through this outdoor mall and see things like an aldo or a pizza hut, and then drive an hour further and see people who have houses with make shift roofs. Its so different, but there is so much to learn from a place like Lima! After walking through this mall, we went to the beach and saw the pacific ocean (Barbara did some more then just see the ocean..), we took some pictures and then headed back to the center. We enjoyed a super nice dinner, as all of them have been, but my personal favourite was the jello desert. After that, we played some games and listened to people celebrate outside about the standings for the elections thus far. We are so fortunate to be here for such an important time for Peru! Election results will be told today, and it seems like it’s a tough race. I am very excited to see the results, and to see the people of Peru after!
Anyways, I´m off to do some laundry. Ive had an amazing experience this far, and I can´t wait to see what the rest of the trip brings!
Bye for now!
