Two weeks have gone by since first arriving here in Perú and I would like to start off by saying that everything is going well! We are slowly but surely becoming aware of our surroundings in the district we’re living in which is Surco. After having stayed somewhere for two weeks you would think you’d know every inch of the area you live in, but this place is pretty big. Since my first blog post we have done a number of exciting things. We have made our way to Miraflores (district just north of ours) a couple of times, gone on a wine tour, went on a trip to Nazca, and had many group get togethers of which one of them was the Super bowl!
Our trips to Miraflores have both been pretty good. The first time we made our way up there I went with Abi, and Elise. We visited some popular tourist places and spent much of our time walking around soaking in the new sights. The second time we made our way up, we went as a group of 13. This time we were on a mission. The Burrito Bar. Some of the people that had come the previous year had told us one of the things we definitely had to have was a burrito from The Burrito Bar. After wandering different streets and asking a numerous amount of people we found it. It was definitely not a let down and although it was delicious, I was not able to finish it, which was awesome, I now had a snack for later that day!
We all made a friend one of those days that week on a wine tour! His name is Edwin, our wine tour host. He took us to a few different places in Lima and told us about the history the city. He has got to be one of the friendliest people all of us have met and his tour didn’t let any one of us down.
I’m definitely looking forward to what this upcoming week has to offer and will keep you guys posted on what happens. Thanks for reading!
