Week 1

   Thursday classes were the last of the week, and the shortened school week was much appreciated by all. Following the classes we had just one activity planned for the day. It was a short day trip about an hour or so outside Miraflores to the ruins of Pachacamac. There we took a tour of the museum and then the ruins themselves. There are six archeologists working at the sight to restore/preserve the ruins. There were many similarities between these ruins and the ones at Huaca Pucllana. They were made in the same "libros" style of brick-laying but were created totally different periods, Huaca Pucllana being the older of the two. It was an early night in order to prepare for the bus ride at 5 in the morning on Friday.
