Our adventures are in Peru right now. The food is very different,but a bit disterbing,for example the heart of cow...yuk!!!! A couple of days ago we went to the orphanage,its soo hard too even think about what they've been through!!!I was holding one of the babies and he fell asleep in my arms,and I was just thinking how a baby could go through loosing it's parents,I can't even go a month without my parents and I'm nine and he's only six months old.Today was the last day seeing the orphans at the church as we gave out Easter chocolats while saying "Dios Bendiga"which means "God Bless You".
Yesterday my mom and I had to get up at 5:30am to go see Machu Pichu, so we got ready and went to go get Landon.It took us about a half in hour to find the boys camp sight.Then we got Landon and started heading up Machu Pichu by walking not the bus like everyone else.(pictures to follow)Once we were almost there we thought we heard some music,but once we got up there we realized it wasn't music it was 100's of tourists talking!!!!! It took us about an hour to hike up then we had to wait in line for like 10 min. for them to check our tickets! After all of that we had to hike up these stairs to get to Machu Pichu. When I got up there it looked way bigger than in pictures!! After seeing a little bit my mom and I wanted to go climb the Montana mountain.It took us a while to find the entrance,after we got there and started hiking we came to this hut that thankfully took our bags and jackets,there we met two girls from India(that spoke english).We ran into a couple of people that were coming down and said we were almost there.When we got up there we met a couple from Israel that had a really nice camera and they asked us to take there picture so we did then had them take our picture which they will mail to us.

Sound Is exciting In Peru
When visiting Peru there are many sounds you’ll
hear,
Even when you are on top of a building they sound
very near
From the people speaking Spanish,
To the parrot’s loud squawk which quickly vanish
Lot’s of horns honking all day long,
With roosters crowing at the break of dawn
Many venders yelling advertising for their toques,
While others have sizzling stoves with food that
sometimes gives you the scoots
When our boat arrived at Amantani Island, we got greeted by several Peruvian girls, then we followed our hostess Bonita through many farms to her house. At her house there was a new born baby calf, then we ate lunch. After lunch we went to the Plaza for a meeting, we met and played ball with a little girl named Madison then had a soccer game with the local boys.

The Cairo Museum
Royal Mummy Room
Going to the Cairo Museum was
awesome! Landon and I went to the royal
mummy room and saw ancient Kings and Queens, as well as the 6 Ramses. There was this one Queen who was buried with
her pet baboon who was also mummified!
When we walked in we saw a bunch of cases with 5 thousand year old
mummies. We were very surprised because
in the second room of the mummies, there was this one, which had fake, painted
eyes! Our guide told us that somebody
stole King Tut’s body from the museum, now they have night guards! Then it was
time to leave.
Back Home
Back home is very different from the trip, and now it feels like it was 1 million years ago! Last night we had a Skype call with Luis and we were talking about how much fun we had together and all the funny moments together,it was awesome chatting with him and his family!!!! Now when I look at all our photos and stuff I realize how different Canada is from the world!!!!
