Pictures!

We got some time at work on their fast(er than where we're living) internet connection. Since you should all have read the previous posts, we'll just include the pictures this time (with some brief captions). We've done a lot in this past week, so there are going to be a lot of pictures. Enjoy!

In the park in Guayaquil, Ecuador with the iguanas--there were at least 100 in this tiny park

The cathedral in Guayaquil across from the park

Our first stop in our tourism day--El parque del amor (the park of love for gringos). We're not sure if it was named because of the statue below, but it fits...

The statue in El parque del amor

Ruins at Pachacamac--We think these were probably restored a bit

The Temple of the Sun at Patchacamac--we were told this was probably just the bottom section

Keri in the entrance to the Temple of the Sun

The temple had quite the view--nice work Incas

Really interesting to see really poor areas right next to the ruins

The people that found this named this temple "Temple with the ramp"

The big cathedral in downtown Lima

The presidents palace (in the same sqare as the cathedral)--it was originally Pisarro's

Another cathedral where we toured the catacombs--it was originally a Franciscan monastery

Toasting with the pisco sours (a traditional Peruvian drink) at dinner before the dance show (Keri, Joy from UIC, Jose from CASP, Liliana the head of CASP, and Yolanda from UIC).
