Don't Drink Water From the Tap and Don't Flush Toilet Paper Down the Toilet: 5/29

Today we didn't have to do anything until 10 am! It was such a treat!
At 10 we took a 7 hour "Mirabus" tour around Callao which is the major seaport of Peru. We drove around in a double decker bus and had a beautiful view of the ocean on our way to two museums. The first museum was called Museo Naval Del Peru and it was all about the Peruvian Navy. There was a lengthly section in the museum talking about the importance of the Navy when Peru gained independence from Spain.
The next museum was just down the block and it was called Museo de Sitio - Submarino Abtao. At this museum we watched a video and then went down into an old submarine and had a tour of the it. The submarine was cool, but I didn't really like it because it smelt bad and was very claustrophobic. The machine however was very cool and they had many mannequins set up demonstrating what life inside of a submarine would be like.
After that we got swordfish at the restaurant that had a beautiful view of the ocean and continued on our tour. Our next stop was Fortaleza Real Felipe. This fortress protected Peruvians from pirates during the colonial times. The fortress had many soldiers present as well as many tourists. They had a small museum which we went into and saw busts of important soldiers. After that we walked around the fortress and went into one of the towers. The view from the top was very cool and you could see the port of Callao.
After that we went back to Miraflores and had the rest of the night off, which was good considering we had been busy all weekend.
