We got to get up late on this day... 8 o'clock. Then we waited to depart for about 2 hours. When we finally get moving, it really wasn't that far. We got to the border and it maybe took us 30 minutes for all 20 of us to get through. Then we headed to the center of Arica and visited a cathedral designed by Gustavo Eiffel. It was absolutely beautiful, but still very simple.
We headed to lunch after that for a bit of Chilean, rice... potatoes... meat... Wow, what a suprise! We hit an art museum with an exhibit on wooden modern sculpture. We went to a market after to buy souveniors, but the money is crazy! 20 soles was 3,500 Chilean pesos!!! 20 soles is like 7 dolars. It was crazy!
The rest of the day was spent in a museum about the war between Chile and Peru. In that war, Peru lost Arica to Chile. We watched the sunset on the beach, and headed back to Peru. There was a Rotary meeting that night, and we had a talent night after. I tried to sing in the talent night, but it ended up horribly when I forgot the words. Oh well! We all slept well that night.
