After spending two days in the lovely city of Lima, Peru we are now in Chili. The picture above is from Lima, specifically in front of their famous church San Francisco. It is about 500 years old and is all about Francis of Assissi and his monastery. We took a tour of the catacombs underneath the church and walked through ancient hallways lined with very old bones and skulls. Yesterday we spent the day in Arica, Chili a small fising seaport in the northern part of Chili. The other pictures are from Arica and an area where natives lived in caves and left pictures on the side of the mountains of animals and people, called geographs. The Andes mountains here are very barren and solid sand so it is hard to believe that the pictures made from stones have survived all these years. We will be stopping at five ports in Chili and then head to Antarctica where we hope to see penguins and other wildlife native to the area. Today the sun is shining and we are relaxing by the pool on the ship. Love to all, Gwen
