Saying Goodbye to ACF

When I woke up this morning, I realized that today is probably the real beginning of our summer here in Peru. The ACF team cleaned up the rooms and kitchen, and everyone packed up their suitcases to leave. It is going to be weird without so many of my friends around anymore, but I think it was a good adjustment to be with them for the first week.

Today was spent hanging out in Pucusana, a fishing town about 30 minutes away from Chilca. We ate lunch there, a typical Peruvian dish that I can't remember the name of. It was a cute little town, and there was a sweet little cove where the waves crashed in. It reminded me of Splash Mountain!!

Then, we headed up to Lima to check out a small cathedral where we saw the grave of Francisco Pizarro. It was interesting how positively they described him, because everything I can remember about him was that he was a very evil person. Weird. We also went to the Indian Market where they sell all kinds of touristy fun Peruvian stuff that I definitely plan on buying!! I want an alpaca blanket :) Kyle and I decided to take a walk around the area to find Starbucks and got a little lost in Lima. Oops! But we eventually found it! I guess I need to work on my Spanish a little more so I can understand directions!

Now we have some free days to move to the apartment and get settled a little. Also, we need to do some serious laundry! :) Thankfully, I brought too many clothes, so I have plenty left! Haha.

Feel free to send us some e-mails and FB messages! I always look forward to those! Keep us in your prayers as well.

Love!
