Tuesday was more classes at El Sol. Following we headed back to UNIFE to take a class in Peruvian literature. Poems in English are hard enough to figure out, so one can only imagine how our interpretations of Spanish poems were pretty far off the mark. After the class we visited the museum of gold and weapons. The museum included the sword of Francisco Pizarro, the first conquistador in Peru. In addition there was rooms and rooms full of Incan and pre-Incan gold. Everything from lip piercings, to cups, to large headdresses covered the walls. Afterwards, a bunch of us climbed at an outdoor rock gym nearby Miraflores. One of my teachers showed us an amazing video about a group of famous Peruvians traveling to Peru, Nebraska to share their culture. Everything in the video is similar to what we have been trying/experiencing, from the hairless peruvian dogs to the bubblegum tasting soda, Inca Cola. The video is 15 minutes long but worth the watch, as it is filled with "cultura de peruanos."
