Peru Day 7 - Lima

Here is the post from Emmalee that we weren't able to post due to the Internet connectivity. 

 

 

Today was the last day on the 2017 Peru Trip and I have to say it was full day of events. So today we ate this widespread breakfast. Probably the best breakfast that we have had this trip. After breakfast we took a bus ride to a supermarket where we bought snacks and water. Also there was a group of girls who have bought 6 liters of pineapple juice. After that we met our tour director for the day and he took us to a small community in the Sacred Valley, where he explained the development of the town and the idea of Peru’s Challenge. A challenge where they would provide education for each kid. Here we met a silversmith and visited a primary school where we played and interacted with the students. After that we went to the center of Cusco where we ate lunch. Once everyone finished eating lunch they went to the center of the plaza that we ate lunch in, and there were street dancers of all ages gathered to celebrate the festival of the sun because the winter solstice is in a few weeks on June 21st. When everyone had congregated in the front of the Western Union (the assigned meeting place for the two groups). We separated in the two groups where one was supposed to make chocolate and the other ones went on a hike. After that we walked 20 minutes uphill to our hotel. Then at 7:00 pm we went to dinner about 5 minutes away where we all ate a meat stew and an apple pastry for dinner. Once we got back to the hotel we went to the top floor, and played a packing game. Then once everyone played one round we all went to bed. So I can come to a conclusion that this trip is so spectacular trip that I have ever been on so I would like to give a special thanks to my Mom and Dad who have made it possible for me to come on this trip. ~ Emmalee
