Days 15-18: Lima, Peru
Cultures old and new were on the agenda: pre-Incan and Incan temples built of stone and adobe at Pachacamac archaeological park, and music and dance of the Lake Titicaca region at a dinner show.
The food highlights included thick cups of chocolate with hot churros, and fresh cheese with giant corn called choclos.
While enjoying the churros at Manolo's, we met a public school administrator who invited us for a visit. The school has three shifts of students and teachers every day to accommodate the teenagers who must work to help their families. We got front row seats to a dance exhibition on the school playground. Being a public school, it has no gym, auditorium, cafeteria, classroom computers or Internet service.
