Peru: Saturday, July 6

Originally today we were going to swim with sea lions and then head up to Youth Group. Well, as Peru is in the South Ameriacn Soccer World Cup final on Sunday, our plan to tour the city tomorrow got moved to today as Lima will be crazy. We headed downtown to the old part of the city, got some churros, and took a tour of the catacombs & cathedral. We then headed to the main square and saw the changing of the guard.
Afterwards, we headed across town to the ritzy Miraflores district to go do some shopping at the Inca market. The girls did some good shopping!!
Lunch on the coast at Papachos, and then up to Las Lomas.
Every Saturday is Oansa (Awana) and Youth Group. We arrived in time for the games, Bible study, songs, and winners. Many of the kids in Oansa we played with all week, so was sad to say good-bye.  As we ate a late lunch, we just grabbed ice cream at McDonald's and went back for Youth Group. As it was all in Spanish, the girls were proud they could understand most everything.
Tears were shed as we got into the Jeep and Van and drove away for the last time. What an unforgettable week it has been!!
