April 28th - Day 1 in Tacna

We started our morning by meeting in the plaza where they have a similar arch as St. Louis. We then visited their public library in Tacna. This library is a project that the Machilla Rotary Club has supported. We then visited an Art school they have in Tacna. We got to tour the building and see some of the types of classes they have to offer. We then headed outside of Tacna to an industrial area they have where we visited an olive factory. We got to see how they sort and house the olives to be exported out.

We then went to lunch with the Rotarians hosting us for the day. After lunch, we had free time to tour the city of Tacna. We ended our evening by having a formal meeting with the Tacna Rotary Club. They had a special ceremony where they honored a fellow Rotarian from Chile. We had the opportunity to meet several Rotarians in Tacna including the district governor.
