An Excuse for Field Trips, Wednesday, 4th Period
Once again, Hannibal and Jonothon had their class meeting on the Causeway. This week they'd been told to dress for warmer weather, and to bring good hiking shoes, if they had them.
"Welcome back," Hannibal greeted them. "We can get to our trips again now that the island seems to have given up on...whatever that was last week."
He opened the large pack he had with him and passed out large bottles of water to everyone. "You will want to drink as much as you can. We will be visiting a high-altitude site, and this will help you adjust. Don't overexert yourself, and let us know if you're experiencing any ill effects."
//And you'll want to wear sunscreen,// Jono added, opening his own... rather less large pack. He hadn't been put on water bottle duty, it was fine. He handed out the little travel-sized bottles of sunscreen for the class to take. //Gets sunny up there.// A pause. //This week, we're going to Peru. Into the Andes. There are the ruins of an old citadel up there that a few of you from Earth might have heard of, and we're going to be doing a bit of exploring, there.//
"Machu Picchu," Hannibal said. "It has been designated a world heritage site for its extraordinary architecture and historical value. We'll be able to walk through the ruins, which have been partially reconstructed over the years, and there will be guides if you have questions. The local language is Spanish, but most will speak at least some English. If you need more, please ask." Because he spoke Spanish, too. Of course.

Re: Machu Picchu
even if they'll never meet because ahahaha."He smirked. "There is, however, more than one museum with artifacts that the cultures they come from have contested their ownership of. If they shouldn't have them in the first place, there would be no harm in removing them, would there?"
It certainly wouldn't be rude.
Re: Machu Picchu
"It's like you've been reading my diary," she accused.
Re: Machu Picchu
It wasn't a huge leap from there; individuals might steal items for their monetary value; museums had a history of taking them from their native cultures.
"I'll see what museums we might be able to find."
Re: Machu Picchu
Yes. That. And not to research everything they had and figure out what was and wasn't stolen. Not at all.
