Our Peruvian delegation has left Lima for a couple of days and is currently visiting the Ica region in southern Peru. Here is their first report from Ica:
Today we left for Paracas and, after a 5 and a half hour bus ride, we arrived at our wonderful hotel. Soon we were off to learn more about Peru. First, we went to a museum that walked us through the Peruvian ancient civilizations and showed us the different pottery styles, textiles, and mummification processes that were used by each civilization. We also heard a lecture on how the fruit flies affect the fruit industry and what the government is doing to decrease the amount of fruit flies that are infecting the different species of fruits. We were able to look through a microscope at the different developmental stages of the fruit fly. The whole experience was very interesting!
