Trip to Chimbote

Chimbote

6/21/2017

President and Sister Casos were going to Chimbote, so we tagged along with them.  We had some Don Bosco pictures we wanted to pick up so we got them while we were there.  We started out early this morning.   The skies looked a little cloudy but we were up for the adventure. 

I tried to take some pictures from the car on the way but they were blurry.  

We got rained on a little.  

The ride was very pleasant.  We visited with President and Sister Casos.  I was happy to be going on an adventure to a new place.  I enjoyed the scenes along the way.

Along the way, we saw farmlands with crops being raised.  

Farmland

Viru

Viru is the area our friends the Whitney's lived and served their 18 month mission.  This is the temporary bridge they pit across the river.  The  main bridge was washed away with the huayco.  

Tunnel

We arrived in Chimbote and went to the Don Bosco store to pick up opur pictures.  Sister Casos wanted to see if she could get a picture for her daughter.

Rocking chair

Chest to store stuff in 

Some small pictures

I really liked this one but we didn't buy it.

I thought it was cute they both wanted to sit in the rocking chair together.  

We were able to buy the two pictures we ordered, one for us and one for President and Sister Marble.  Wayne also bought two smaller ones, I especially the one with the Chismosas. 

We ate lunch at Donde Victoria

We had a good visit as we shared lunch.  This place was a great place to eat.  

After we had lunch and bought our pictures, we went to the ocean to see the boats and take a few pictures.  Wow!

I loved seeing this lama or alpaca down by the ocean

The fishing ships.  It was amazing.

The ride home was just as beautiful seeing farmland growing crops to feed the people. We enjoyed the adventure and so glad President and Sister Casos shared it with us.  .
