First day on our journey through Peru! We have already seen so much. Today we took a tour along the Pacific coast and into colonial Lima. We got to take a tour through the amazing and ornate 16th century cathedral and walked underground to the catacombs beneath it. The bones of the people were stacked 10 meters high and arranged in a decorative fashion. It was very chilling, yet amazing to see. From there we joined up for some very popular local Peruvian cuisine of raw fish marinated in lime juice called ‘ceviche’ which was very good. We also learned to make Peru’s national drink called a pisco sour, but more on those later! Can’t wait to get to the Nazca Lines tomorrow!

I have always been fascinated with the world and travel. I love different cultures and meeting new people in new places. I have traveled many places within the states and also spent a month in Okinawa, Japan. Seeing the many different cultures throughout Peru is going to be incredible. Also climbing Machu Picchu and taking a boat ride down the Amazon is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m looking forward to this trip of a lifetime.
