f o e! t r r a tu p t s n u J e v d a the te dia e m ter -in e r P My first name is My last name is My school is My address is Characters Asiri Third Grade Jenny Pierre Vania Once there was a Peruvian girl, named Asiri She was a good student When she was fourteen years old, she decided to enroll in an Italian exchange program She had an enjoyable experience there Before returning to Peru, Asiri invited her new friends from different countries to come and visit her A few months later, her Italian friend Vania, her French friend Pierre and Jenny from the USA arrived at her home The three students were excited about their plans to visit Peru One of the first and most highly anticipated stops was Machu Picchu This looks just like all the pictures online I canꞌt believe I am actually here I would have never thought, in my wildest dreams, that I would actually be standing here It is magnificent! How did this even get built, all the way up here? It was built by the Incas Wow! Itꞌs beautiful, but I am almost out of breath How high are we? We are at about 2,430 meters here What was this place used for? The complex of palaces and plazas, temples and homes may have been built as a ceremonial site, a military stronghold or a retreat for the ruling elite Third Grade The next day, after a long overnight bus ride, they finally got to Arequipa, known as ʹʹThe White Cityʹʹ for its multiple buildings made of white volcanic stone known as sillar Look, thereꞌs a volcano Oh, that is really pretty! Letꞌs go closer so I can get a photo Wow! Look at all the condors, they are massive! They are almost extinct in the United States Thereꞌs a spectacular mountain range in the background as well Those are the Andes Be careful Thereꞌs a cliff Donꞌt get too close or you may fall Thanks for the warning Third Grade Jenny had read about the Nazca Lines and the mystery that surrounds them The group decided that would be their next stop I canꞌt believe we are flying over the Nazca Lines We can feel like condors, hahaha Wow! This is exciting I am usually afraid of heights, but I really like it I feel comfortable up here Third Grade Working their way up the coast, there were several places to stop There was one in particular close to Paracas, the Ballestas Islands Asiri knew what to expect here, but kept it a secret from her friends so they would be in for a surprise when they arrived They took a boat from Paracas, and along the way, they saw a candelabra that was etched into the hillside As they continued, they got closer to the island with birds and animals on them Are those sea lions? They sure are 10 Wait! Are those penguins? Yes, they are Penguins surviving out here? When I think of penguins, I think of cold This is so amazing! Third Grade 11 After the boat ride, they continued on their journey They headed away from the beach towards the mountains of northern Peru, close to the city of Huaraz There they would go rock climbing at Hatunmachay This looks like a natural Stonehenge But you can climb on it I love it! I canꞌt wait to get my hands dirty I am ready to get some exercise I feel like we just eat and ride all the time Why donꞌt you take the lead then, since you are ready? 12 On Belay! Belay on! Climbing! Climb on! Excellent job Jenny, you made it up fast You have to see the view from up here, it is magnificent Third Grade 13 The following day, they went on a day trip to Huascaran, the highest mountain in Peru The plan was to go to the refuge and stay the night They left early in the morning to get to the base camp where they would start hiking I am not feeling very well today I feel like it could have been the car ride that did it I get a little car sick too Hopefully, a walk in the fresh air will make it better 14 They started their ascent, realizing Pierre was walking at a faster pace with Jenny following behind They decided they would walk at their own pace and just meet at the top or whenever they took a break Pierre kept at a steady pace, making short cuts where he could When the trail zig-zagged back and forth, he went straight up Pierre reached a meadow where there were bulls grazing He turned around the corner and faced one of them He got such a fright that he started running and slipped onto a rock Third Grade 15 Pierre couldnꞌt move too well His knee hurt He was afraid of the bull, so he stayed very still and waited for his friends It seemed like a long time Pierre ate and drank water, passing the time thinking about what had just happened So much time had passed that the others should have caught up to him The animals had gone away, so Pierre got up slowly and started walking back to meet his friends ? 16 He went at a slow pace, now just following the trail As he got further down, he heard someone shouting It was Asiri Hey, hey Hey, we are down here I need to walk slowly because I hurt my knee What happened? I got a fright when I saw a bull and fell onto a rock Oh no! Thatꞌs too bad Are you ok? Not really I think we should go back I agree because Vania fell into the river Third Grade 17 They all came up from below Vania was all wet She was shivering Everyone gave her some dry articles of clothing so she wouldnꞌt get hypothermia They waited for a long time to rest up before the descent Then they decided it was time to start heading down as the clouds and weather were coming in We have to get moving Those rain clouds are moving this way Ok, letꞌs go They took their time walking down, trying to make sure nothing else went wrong It started raining Well, I know this has not been fun for everyone, but there is more bad news We donꞌt have a ride At that moment Vania started crying I just want to go home I donꞌt want to be here anymore It is just part of the adventure, right? 18 I donꞌt want an adventure anymore I know, I was just joking Well, what should we do? We have to walk down That is going to take at least another hour I can try to get a ride and come back if you all want to wait I donꞌt want to sit up here waiting two hours or more for you while itꞌs raining It would be better to keep moving to stay warm Are you okay to keep going? At this point, it is probably better If I stop, I will just feel the pain more Okay, we will keep going Third Grade 19 They walked down the dirt path for two more hours, taking breaks along the way They finally got back to the main road to Huaraz They sat next to the road hoping for a ride Itꞌs been an hour and no one has picked us up I just want this day to be over I am at that point too, and I need to drink some water I am sorry you got wet, Vania Itꞌs ok It is not your fault I was just upset 20 ...
