Sunday was our last day before we started classes so there was a lot of free time. I spent the day at the beach and the surrounding parks, watching the surfers and paragliders. Dinner was at the restaurant Huacu Pucllana, named after the ruins ten feet from the patio we ate on. Before dinner we got a tour of the ruins, where the various functions of the ruins were described as well as how and why they were built. Earthquakes and humans are the only danger to these ruins, as it never rains here. The menu included salmon tartar, beef heart, goat cheese salad and grilled sea bass. There was also a local desert with chocolate and caramel as well as pisco. Quite the spread and we were all tired and full by the end of the night.
   Th next day was the first day of school. The school is a short walk away and starts at nine. The classes break down into grammar, conversation and culture. Its more Spanish than I've ever taken before and definitely wears one down a little but will obviously help with my skills. School was followed by a tour of the museum of Ricardo Palma, a famous writer of Peru. The museum is actually a house he lived in for six years. The curator was very good, mixing stories that kept us interested with facts about Peru and Palma.
  Afterwards we took our second Marabous tour. This one was at night and we got to get in and out of the bus at various places. We stopped in downtown Barranco and took a short walk around the area. There was also a coffee break due to the 3 hour length of the tour.
