Dont worry their just working out.
Dont worry their just working out.


Today we woke up at 3:30 AM to go on a big adventure around Lima, Peru. When I woke up I could barely open my eyes because I was so tired. Our tour guide picked us up in a van to go on a boat to see sea creatures like sea lions, penguins, and birds like the Peruvian booby. The drive there took about 3 and a half hours but between the ride we stopped at a store to get coffee and bread. 

First when we got there we went into a small shop where locals tried to hustle you into buying stuff after that we walked down a 100 foot dock to get to the boat. The boat ride was somewhat smooth, when drifting around the island there was a very old ancient drawing made by a group of people that would make drawings in deserts and sand. They took the dark iron sand to reveal the white sand underneath the drawings so big people can only see them from space. There are also theories where people think they did it so aliens can see but i dont believe in that. This drawing in the sand looked like a giant cactus it probably wasn’t but it looked like one. All the Animals hung out around an Island made out of mostly rocks. When looking at the groups of sea lions we saw them mating which was strange. There are so many sea lions because they have no predictors. The usual predators would be sharks or orca whales.

  After that we stopped to have some food at a restaurant. I forgot what you got but I remember that the food wasn’t my favorite. Since me and my brother didn't want to learn about pisco sours and alcohol we found some goats that we ate for lunch. We feed the goats so I can get a more tasty goat for next time we come here. We feed the goats plants, sticks, bird feathers, mango’s, and even pollen. One of the brown goats kept getting attacked by the big goat since it was greedy. So the brown goat was scared to eat but it was able to find a mango to eat.

 Then we went to dunes which is basically in a tiny desert where we went on dune buggies and where we went sandboarding.  If your wondering what sand boarding is which im guessing most of you are sand boarding is basically snow boarding or laying down on a wood board and going head first down a sand mountain, To get to the spots to go sandboarding we went on a crazy fun buggy ride up and down right to left all around the dunes which gave an adrenaline rush which was fun, when going back to the area where all the buggies are kept I decided to run down and roll down the dunes so when getting in the van again I was covered head to toe in sand. It was a 5 hour ride back to our hotel so it was pretty uncomfortable with sand stuck to butt and in your pants and being very sweaty but I managed to survive.

 On the way back you could see mountains that are part of the Andes which was pretty cool. The thing that I was most surprised about is that this whole tour for everything we did and got was only 150 USD. won't say the tour name since they are not paying me to advertise bye.
