Today I was finally able to run! I left my house and ran along the cliffs that overlook the sea. Initially I was worried I would be all by myself, but the pathway was full of other joggers, bicycles and dog walkers, and I got to watch the surfers tackle the waves that were crashing below. After my run, I got back to the apartment just as my host mom was leaving for her tennis practice. I showered, changed my clothes and packed my bag for the day. Before I left, I made sure to grab my usual breakfast of a ham, egg and cheese sandwich and a smoothie, then headed out for the day.
At school, we reviewed the conditional tense and conversed about potential problems we might encounter and how we would solve them. In history, we learned more about Carval and the various items discovered there. When classes ended, we had a lunch of chicken, rice and potatoes then waited for the bus that took us to the Museum of Anthropology and Archeology.
The museum taught us all about Peru during the ancient civilizations and it was great to see all of the different artifacts on display. Another great part was the courtyard which was filled with trees and greenery, which we sat under when our tour ended.
Monica surprised us with a wine tasting after the tour, where we all tried the "best wine in Peru." The name must have been true as the majority of us left with our own bottles, me with rosé.
We got on the bus once again and headed to the Magical Fountains. Basically, this was a park filled with thirteen different, extravagant water fountains. In other words, the park included thirteen different reasons for us to take a group picture. It all ended climatically with a spectacular water show.
Tired and hungry, we got on the bus once again and headed home to finish our homework.
