We had another great P-Day activity with our senior missionary friends. With no foreign or senior missionaries in Peru since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, almost all of us senior missionaries arrived within just a few weeks of each other. Elder and Sister Howes, from Australia, have been great at putting together P-Day adventures such as this great day trip to the coast about 3 hours south of Lima.
The Candelabro. This large, ancient drawing on the side of a large hill along the shore is almost 200 yards in height and thought to be 2500 years old. No one knows for sure it's significance. Some think it was a figure for ancient fisherman. This coastal desert is so dry and has so little weather that this work of ancient art formed by trenching in the hillside, is still very well preserved.
We still haven't seen any llamas or alpacas, but we did see penguins!
The stark beauty of this place was captivating. No a single plant anywhere. Just barren landscape and a rugged coast. Too bad it's so far from Hollywood because this would be the perfect place to simulate Mars.
The coast, beaches and shoreline are stunningly beautiful, but there's little sun and the water is very cold. I've not seen anyone take a dip in this ocean without a wet suite!
