Today was another long, but exciting day in Lima. Ally and I got to El Sol three minutes before the first bell today. We're learning! In class, we talked again about Caral, the oldest civilization in South America. Although pictures and videos of the city are nice to look at, I'm very happy that we get to visit the actual ruins in just a few days!!
After school, we took a trip to el Museo Nacional de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Perú where we learned about the country's ancient civilizations. My favorite part about the museum was its extensive collection of intact ceramic pieces. Here is a picture of one in particular that caught my attention...

When we finished our tour at the museum, we stopped by a small winery to try various Peruvian drinks. I also found some cake to eat.
The night was young! We proceeded to el Museo Circuito del Agua, a park of 30 giant water fountains/exhibits. We all had lots of fun running in and out of the fountains, trying to avoid being sprayed by the random bursts of water. Some were not as lucky as me, and either got soaked by a sneaky spout, or fell in a puddle as they ran toward dry land. Either way, it was an interesting sight to see! Wet or dry, we continued on to the last event of the night: the water show. So far, I think the water show has been my favorite part of the trip. During these aMEIzing 15 minutes, Peruvian dances, food, and notable monuments were projected on the water as well as funky patterns and shapes (similar those shown at a Beyoncé concert). There was also pump up music playing in the background, which really added to the show's overall grandeur. I know many of my blog followers couldn't experience the overall aesthetic of the experience. Therefore, I have decided to share this picture of my friend Ralzaly to hopefully bring out some emotion in all of you.
