La Isla Palomino

On this adventure, we took a boat ride from the port of Callao and visited an island which is only inhabited by sea lions and seagulls.

 Some of the brave few put on wet-suits and swam with the sea lions. My sister and her fiance were among them.

We visited other islands where we saw penguins.

I know there are no pictures of me here but I was there too. Unfortunately, I get pretty seasick and spent most of the time sleeping. I did manage to get up to take a picture of the other sleeping members of our party: Aiden, my Dad, and Andre.

Star Wars

Andre's uncles and aunt (Tio's and Tia) promised to take him to see the new Star Wars movie while we were in Peru. He loves all things Star Wars. Near where we were staying, there was a gallery showing of a Peruvian graphic design artist and his interpretation of Star Wars. On the same day, Andre visited the gallery and saw the movie. It was a good day in Peru. If you understand Spanish, you may understand the play on words here.

Water Park

We heard about a water park in the city where kids could have fun. Later we learned that what was meant by water park was park with a lot of fountains. Since it didn't sound as kid friendly as we had originally thought we didn't rush to go there. However, once we did go, we found that the kids did in fact have a lot of fun there.
