Best Tour ever!

I was supposed to go to the beach today but those plans fell through. So I went to the complete opposite side of the city to a place called La Punta in Callao (I think it is even a different city. Maybe it is a subdivision). I didn't know exactly what to expect or where to get off so I got off once we got through a very bleak city. I saw this fort looking thing called El Museo del Ejercito (and like an idiot I first thought it was a museum about exercise and was confused by the amount of military personnel outside and then I remembered that ejercito meant army). So I walked past that and went to the dock and saw this submarine. It looked kinda crappy but I decided to go ahead and buy a ticket to go down inside of it. And I am so glad I did! That was the best tour ever! First it started with a video about the Peruvian Navy (they were the first in South America to have a submarine). I didn't want to watch it and was annoyed that they forced me to, but I sat through it trying to avoid the English subtitles until I realized that they were hilarious. So I started just reading those and then I was laughing because it was like a bad Babblefish translation. I was in a room full of Peruvians who weren't laughing so I am sure they were confused by what I thought was so funny about a very dry history of Peru's navy. I started snapping photos but I missed the best lines. Well I attached the ones that I caught anyway. And the actual tour was almost as good too. We went down into the cabin? hull? and the tour guide started by describing the torpedoes. I don't think I listened at all. What I liked about the tour was that they had maniquines set up where the people would be in an actual submarine (cooking, typing, andI think one was on the toilet). So I took a lot of photos of everything. Then the final room of the submarine. I am glad this was a surprise. The guide explained that they would then show a simulator of what an actual attack would be like. So he turned off the lights and started the simulator. I uploaded it on YouTube and added it below. You can't view it on facebook so you have to click on View Original Post or go to http://isaiastorres.blogspot.com/ Oh and I realize now that I gave the wrong flickr address. It is http://www.flickr.com/photos/isaiastorres
Hope you enjoy the video. Oh and I returned to that Exercise Museum for a little bit.
