We got to visit the Chilean consulate with meant free breakfast and a nice video about the dances and cultures of Chile. Peru and Chile are pretty much enemies still, so it was very nice to have a nice peaceful, amicable breakfast with a Chilean. It was a very interesting presentation and the consulate was beautiful! We then went to go talk to a group of interested students about youth exchange. We went up and said our names and did a little intro, but after we just sat in the back and were bored. A couple actually slept because after that hard trip, a meeting was just to boring to stay awake.

It was finally time for lunch when we finished the meeting and we went to a district meeting of the Tacna area for lunch. It was a wonderful lunch (lamb again). There was dancing and music and it was very festive. Us kids walked over to the close park and played on the equipment for a while before heading back to the hotel to pack up and catch our bus.
I of course had to have my pictures with the Arch of Tacna because of the St. Louis Arch. It's not nearly as big or awesome, but it's also a gateway. It's like the gateway to the rest of south America from Peru. It's very pretty though.
We left on the bus right after I squeezed in my visit to the arch! 27ish hours later our trip was officially over and we arrived in Lima.
