What a wonderful weekend! Part 3

Okay, I think we're on to Sunday now! On Sunday morning, we woke up and had a worship service in a gathering room at the hotel. After that, we had about two hours before lunch to explore Chucito. We started by getting as close to the lake as we could. There ws a dirt road that went from the hotel down to the water, so we went down there, which was quite beautiful and peacful.

On the road down to the lake.

 And then after spending some time at the lake, we headed toward the Plaza de Armas of Chucito. On the way there, Alex (one of my classmates) looked up and noticed that THERE WAS A CIRCLE RAINBOW AROUND THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!! So we stopped and gawked at it for a little while. It was cool.

Circle rainbow!!!!!

We walked around the Plaza de Armas, bought some ice cream, and continued on. The city of Chucito is not very large. We saw quite a bit of it, I think. Eventually, we ended up all sitting on a very large rock and just soaking in the view of the countryside. I could have stayed there for hours, but we had to return to the hotel for lunch.

This is part of our view from the big rock. Oh, it was great!

We ate lunch at the hotel, and then we all got on the bus to begin our trip home. But we made some stops on the way. The first stop that we made was at a lookout over the city of Puno. Oh wow. That was cool! Look at this!!!



After spending lots of time at the lookout, we got back in the bus and headed to Sillustani. Sillustani is a place where there are lots of very large circular stuctures made of rock. These are ancient tombs from pre-Incan times. That's a long long long time ago. These structures were all over! There were tons of them! And the view was spectacular. God is really really amazing!!

This looked so much cooler in person.

And here are some of the very large structures. It was amazing to see them! They are called chullpas.I would also like to mention that it required a lot of math to create these structures.

After spending some time in Sillustani, we got back on the bus and drove off to Arequipa. Home sweet home!

God, Your creation is magnificent! Thank You for making this world!
