Day Three

Today, was the first day of classes! I walked to our school, El Sol, and arrived in time for the classes that began at 9. The first class, Grammar and Conversation, was taught by Romeo. He reviewed the subjunctive with our class, which was extremely helpful because I completely forgot the conjugation and conditions f when to use the subjunctive. After grammar, our other teacher, Andreas, taught us History and Culture of Peru. Specifically, we learned about the ancient civilization of Carval and many of the aspects of it, like the different temples and gods they worship. After class, we had a lunch of rice, egg and soup and then were dismissed.

During the small break we had, a group of us went to Pinkberry and Starbucks in order to use the wifi so that we could do our homework. Then, we met the class at El Parque Kennedy, and walked together to the Ricardo Palma museum. Ricardo Palma was a famous Peruvian writer during the nineteenth century, and we got to tour his house and learn all about his life. In fact, I learned so much that when the guide, Guillermo, asked us questions about Palma, I answered one correctly and won a book. 

Before the night tour of Miraflores, a group of us went to go get dinner so that we could experience authentic Peruvian cuisine. Of course, it was incredible.

Finally, we ended the night with a tour of Miraflores and, like always, it was breathtaking (and a bit chilly). Overall, it was an eventful day, but it is only going to get busier from here.
