Peruvian artwork is very varied. Much of the traditional art is found in the Andes mountains where the descendants of the Inca civilization live. An example of a traditional piece of Peruvian art is the Tumi. The Tumi was used for sacrifices and was even used for brain surgery by the early Incas! Nowadays, the Tumi is a tradtional decoration hung in many Peruvian homes. It is said to bring about good luck…

Another important part of Peruvian artwork is the alpaca. These are animals slightly smaller than llamas and are very furry. Their fur is used for many pieces of Peruvian art, such as the very popular poncho. The alpaca wool is incredibly soft and of a very high quality. That is why there are many different types of products made from it.

 Of course, there are many other forms of art in Peru. Mainly, the traditional Peruvian clothing has very bright colors. Nowadays, this clothing is used mostly for only special ceremonies and dances.

Bonjour! Je suis Renzo, un étudiant de Madame Windsor et je suis dans sa classe de français d’introduction. J’ai quinze ans et je suis désolé pour toutes les erreurs grammaticales que je pourrais faire parce que je ne peux pas parler français trés bien. Je suis désolé que je n’ ai pas ecrit pendant mes vacances de Nöel. Je n’ aurais pas pu écrire parce que j’étais au Venezuela avec ma famille.

 Je veux parler de mes vacances au Venezuela. J’ai passé deux semaines au Venezuela dans un petite ville appelé Chichiriviche. J’ai aussi passé trois jours à Caracas, le capital du Venezuela. Dans le chichiriviche, nous avons visité plusieurs îles qui ont eu de belles plages. Il faisait très chaud, environ 30 degrés de Celsius! Et c’était hiver! C’était beaucoup d’amusement! Je montrerai quelques photographies bientôt!

For now though, is Morroco also very hot this time of year? Are there also many beaches there? I’m also interested to know if you also have vacation in December.

Please leave me a comment!
