Abi's Reflection on Lima, Peru

Dear Friends,

 My ship did not get bitten by a shark but I saw lots of jellyfish.  On the ship I went to the snack bar.  I went swimming too.

In Peru I tried on a white coat and I went to the mall.  At a park we saw so many cats that lived at the park and lots of pictures.  And I played at the park.  At the SanFranciscan church I saw real bones in an underground tomb called a catacomb.  There were over 25,000 people from Peru buried there in the 1600's and 1700's.  We chased doves outside the church.

The flag in Peru is red and white.  The people spoke Spanish but many people also speak English.  Peru was a nice country.  To travel we rode in a bus, in taxi's, and I walked a lot.  I tasted good chicken.  The air around Lima smelled polluted.  It felt hot outside, but it was fall there.  There were large mountains near Lima.  Lima was really really loud.  There were lots of cars and people.  The tomb under the church was very quiet because people were listening to the guide. 

I had a really good time.  Love, Abi
