Sucre


We got to Sucre on a very long bus that was horrible. The seats didn't lean back and weren't comfortable. Finally we got to Sucre at 5:00 am. We waited in the bus station for and hour because mom thought that the hotel wouldn't be open untill 6 or 7. Everyone didn't sleep much (because of the bathroom break at 1:00 am) we were all grumpy. Getting a taxi to the hotel was easy but at the hotel we had to fill out forms that felt like they took hours (it was really only 5 minutes). We got the key and went to our room to sleep!!! Once we woke up, and had breakfast we walked down to town. Since Sucre was new to us we walked around and mainly took pictures. We went to the Catedral and looked at the alter and then went to the museum of the Virgen of Guadalupe. We found out that the Virgen wasn't in the museum and we had to go back into the Catedral. The reason that the Virgen was in the church is because this weekend is the festival of the Virgen of Guadalupe and she is having hundreds of visitors a day. After lunch we came back to the hotel and hung out for a while, watched the sunset and ate dinner at the restaurant. Yesterday we went to the Dinosaur Museum and saw huge life size replicas of different dinosaurs. We also saw tracks but from really far away and we couldn't touch them. After lunch we went to a mask museum and saw tons of really cool masks that were kind of scary too. We went back to the hotel and while dad was sleeping Helen, Mom and I played cards and had a drink. When dad woke up it was time to watch the sunset and we all sat on the roof while he had a Pisco Sour! We ate at the hotel again and went to sleep right after that. Today we went to the Gloreieta castle and saw were the princess and prince lived. All the furniture was gone but it was still beautiful and amazing. My favorite part was when we climbed to the top one of the towers and saw the princess tower. It had stained glass all over it but we weren't allowed to go up because the stairs weren't stable enough to hold a group. Tonight we get to see a water show and I'm really excited!!!

  1. When I'm tired 5 minutes feels like an hour too! But what a reward...a princess tower! (;
