The trip to Peru was a school trip that happens every two
years for the freshman and sophomore class.
It is called Destino Peru. The
trip was introduced by Ms. Mili, who wanted to teach students about her culture
and the places where she grew up. It is
one of the things that students looked forward to when they become high
school. I got to do it when I was a
sophomore.
The very beginning of the trip started off with a pretty
rocky start. We left to the airport on
June 12, 2013 at 2am~ There were a lot of us going on the trip, the biggest
class that Ms.Mili has every brought with her.
But our flight was delayed and we ended up leaving the next day and we
also had to take an extra flight to Costa Rica to get to Lima, Peru.
Our trip started off in Lima, there we visited a school and
interacted with the students. We also
met some of Ms. Mili’s relatives like Paula Chichizola, Pablo and Laura.
We went to other cities like Cuzco and Arequipa by bus. We spent a lot of time in the bus. Playing in the bus was one of my favorite
parts of the trip, we really bonded during the long bus rides and it was a lot
of laughs and fun. My main bus buddy was
Hatsy! We played and sat together on the
bus every time J. She was also my roommate for almost the whole
tripJ. The hotel in Cuzco was the best hotel we ever
stayed in, the rooms were really pretty and the food there was okay. In Arequipa, we visited another school, and
met our pen pals. My pen pal was
Ariana. She’s so SWEET! The students were very nice and friendly. Even though I didn’t remember half their
names, it was very fun. They showed us
around the mall and even threw us a party the night before we left Arequipa. Arequipa was my favorite place to visit, I
liked the hotel, the students, and especially the doorman who was extremely
nice and also the owner of the hotel, he was also very nice. 
Machu Picchu was also an awesome place. It was tiring to walk up all those steps to
the top, but the view was AMAZING. We
were on top of the clouds so we could actually see them below us and some even
passed through us. It was also very
rainy when we visited Machu Picchu so in the end we were soaked from head to
toe.
We also went to a Llama and Alpaca farm. They were so cute! We even got to feed them. While I was there I learned that llamas
really do spit when they’re angry, some of them spit at some of my classmates.
But my MOST memorable part of the trip was when I saw snow for the first time. We stopped on the side of the road to play, and in the midst of playing; I stepped on a puddle and soaked my shoes. I ended up wearing flip-flops for the rest of the ride on the mountain. My feet were freezing. There so many other things we did like visit a children’s hospital, sand boarding, river rafting, zip lining, the chocolate museum, garment factory and a history museum. All of which were amazing!
