WOOW PERU IS AMAZING!!! WE WENT TO THE CATACOMBS TODAY AND SAW LIKE 1000 SKELETONS. WALLS MADE OF SCULLS WITH THE FLOORS LITTERED WITH BONES!!!! DRIVING ON THE ROADS ARE SUICIDE I CANT IMAGINE THAILAND OR TOYKO. ITS SO DIFFERENT THEN BACK HOME. AND I DRANK POP TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN almost 3 YEARS! (INKA KOLA IT’S LIKE CREAM SODA). THE FOOD IS SO DIFFERENT. i ate well let’s just say it’s were the chicken KEEPS ITS EGGS!!! the ocean is incredible. there are huge cliffs going into the sea. The streets are filled with people (over 7 million just in Lima) every 1 looking at us because we’re white and that pretty much putting a target over are head! The people are very aggressive but very nice people. The plane ride was great i got free movies haha. We went to the center square in peru were the different cultures of buildings are Spain, France, England, and Inca. there were incredible  structures, art and churches. Lima is like a city of 7 million people with nothing but a few scraps. there is a lack of land space so the houses are piled on mounds of garbage because the country doesn't have a garbage maintenance so the streets a covered in trash. they have children at the age of 5 and over working at the markets and street venders.
