Learn About Peru!

On Friday, Alexandra's father came in and talked about the country of his birth, Peru! 


First, we went down to the giant map to locate Peru.

Beverly got a chance to see the map for the first time.

As luck would have it, Alexandra's cousin was visiting during the same week that we had the giant traveling map! That's serendipity! (Serendipity is a fancy word for good luck.)

Alexandra's father shared a slide show. (Embedded below) with photos of Peru, including one of a surfing beach in Lima, Peru.


After his presentation, we all went outside to enjoy a special Peruvian treat!

Even Mrs. Yollis got one of the yummy desserts!




¡Muey delicioso!


Check out his fabulous slideshow! It includes images from his trip to Machu Pichu and the Nazca Lines. 



About a dozen years ago, Mrs. Yollis traveled to Peru. She spent some time at Machu Pichu and thought it was a beautiful historic location.

The mountains were terraced or carved into steps.

When Mrs. Yollis was in Machu Pichu, there were llamas grazing on the terraced mountain.


What did you learn about Peru?

Would you like to visit Machu Pichu or the Nazca Lines?
