Final Day in Peru

On day 3 of my trip, I was not at all sure what I would do, yet I knew I wanted to make the absolute best of the time I had left in this great nation! Because I was interested in the United State’s relation to Peru, I visited a warehouse, which contains consumer goods that may end up in the USA. I gained access to this area, for Carlos invited me. The fish he caught would, over a long period of time, end up in this warehouse to be later shipped off to major trade partners of Peru. These partners included USA, China, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil. This fascinated me, for it made me realize how much of a direct impact the man I stayed with really has on my country, even though, he is, after all, just a fisherman. After this, Carlos was granted the day off so he let me examine a factory in the heart of Lima. Here, at this factory, I observed several elements, petroleum, textiles, steel, and cement. These items are manufactured and eventually sold to help Peru’s economy. Lastly, when it was starting to get dark, a colorful Peruvian festival was taking place. In downtown Lima, this festival was, indeed, celebrating its patron Saint, just as every Peruvian town does. This cultural celebration was a fitting way to end a very cultural week for me. Now, after the festival concluded, I had to go grab my things from Carlos’ apartment and catch my flight. I thanked Carlos for allowing me to stay with him during my visit. Now, I had to  depart Peru, though, in no way did I want to leave. The three days I spent in the wonderful nation, Peru, were very beneficial to my life and I strongly encourage visiting any time possible!
