We started the day off with a bus tour of the city of Lima. The weather was really nice with temperatures in the high 70s. Our first stop was to the Archeological and Anthropological Museum where we got to see artifacts dating as far back as 2000 years B.C. There were a lot of interesting pottery and stone carvings, as well as hand woven tapestries. There was a cute young girl (14 years old) showing us how to make one. It is amazing how much detail and time goes into one little section.
After the museum we went on a walking tour to see the Plaza Mayor and to three Cathedrals and Monasteries, one being San Francisco Monastery. The architecture of the buildings were gorgeous. Also the gardens in their courtyards were really pretty and well kept. Later in the day we stopped by a few shops where Jenn got to try out some of her Spanish. When we got back from the tour we relaxed for a bit then went out to grab a bite to eat right next the the Pacific Ocean.
Now we are back in the room getting ready for bed because we have to get up at 2am to go to the airport to catch our next flight to Cuzco. The flight is at 5:45am and will only be about an hour and a half.
Good night to all!
