What I Learned
I learned that Lima, the capital of Peru, mean City of Kings. I learned that Peruvian food is somewhat like American food. It looks and sound good. I also learned that Peru's president is Alan Garcia. I found out that Peru's flag is red and white with a symbol for the Inca Empire in the center. The colors on the flag stand for: Red:blood, White:Peace and Justice.

Peru's money is called Nuevo Sol. The conversion of Peruvian money to American money is: $.36 on the dollar. Peru's President is young and tall. Peru's people are called Peruvians. I learned a place to get some awesome Peruvian recipe is Food.com.
