Photo Gallery Updated

Hello everyone.  The photo gallery has finally been updated with some pictures from my trip.  Below is a description of what you’ll find.  Sorry for not having more pictures; the amount of space I have to post pictures is limited.

Dinner at the Rustica:  This past semester, I helped to coordinate a project to donate used computers from the University of Dayton to the Institute in Peru.  We are still waiting for the computers to reach Peru, but in the meantime one of the people who helped me tremendously with the project came to Peru on a business trip and visited the family.  We all went out to dinner at a place called the Rustica.

Callao & La Punta:  Callao is the city in which I am living.  It is located on the coast of Peru and borders the Pacific Ocean.  La Punta (in English, “the point”) is a narrow part of Callao that extends out into the ocean, thus it is called “the point”.  I went with my host father and brother to visit La Punta.

Plaza de Armas:  The Plaza de Armas is located in the heart of Lima and is the center of the Peruvian government.  It is the location of the national cathedral, presidential palace, and various other government buildings.  The family, a few of their friends, and I visited the Plaza de Armas at night so that we could see all of the buildings lit up.

Circuito Magico del Agua:  The “Magical Water Circuit” is a park located in Lima that was created last year as part of a revitalization project for the city.  It consists of 13 different water fountains, all of which are illuminated at night.  One of the fountains is included as part of a laser-light show, which we were able to see.  We visited this park after leaving the Plaza de Armas.
