Santa Apolonia


Santa Apolonia is a little Catholic chapel on the top of a big hill in the middle of Cajamarca that is for some reason famous. It was one of the least interesting places I went to. If it seems interesting, it was. Just all the other ones were more interesting. My mom is trying to make movies about all of our trips. She puts everything in it. Here is the one for this trip. But I am also going to share some other things.


On our way down the way cool steps from the church,
 there were some statues with plaques by them.
They said: "This person has been here." This
 one was like Kuntur Wasi, the guy who got Atahualpa
in trouble by saying that he did something bad.
 He probably did. Did I do a good imitation?
The most interesting part was when it rained. It started raining, then drizzling, then it started raining harder. We decided to find cover. It was raining harder now. We went down some steps and then we saw a rock tunnel-one of those earth-made ones. A lot of people were gathering over there. But it was a big enough tunnel to fit 200 people and 2 cars! (Or so I estimate.) Right then, a car came though. We all huddled in and ate our "lunch" Mom packed for us. Carrots and apples. Mmmmmmmmmm!

After... I don't know, 5 minutes, we sent Kai -  who had a raincoat - out to find the dryest path. Five more minutes after, Kai came back, and it was only drizzling again. We went on a path, and it was wet for the rest of the trip. It started raining a bit after that, but we were under a little jut-out roof that the church had, since we couldn't go in. It was kind of scary when I thought we were going to be under that tunnel for the rest of the day.

But we got out and had a good day! You should, too!
