April 24th - 1st Day in Ilo


          We traveled through the night to Arequipa and met again with the Arequipa-Sur Rotary Club at the bus stop for breakfast.  We greatly appreciate their kindness and generosity with waiting with us for our next bus to Ilo.  We then departed from Arequipa to Ilo where the Ilo – Sur Rotary Club greeted us. 
            After getting settled with our host families in Ilo we headed to a lunch at their country club.  We had the chance to meet and talk with some of the members of the Ilo-Sur Club.  After lunch we went out into the city of Ilo to see some of what the city has to offer.
Ilo is one of the smaller cities we have been to with a total population of a little more than 20,000 people.  Ilo is also a coastal city so there are a lot of beaches to see and it also makes this a very beautiful place to visit.  Some of us ended our evening by attending church while others spent time visiting with their host families.
