We have now been in Peru for a full day and night. Other than being a little tired we are all doing well and enjoying the sights, sounds, and new friends. Our flight was late getting in so we didn’t get to the guest house in Lima until 1 a.m. or so. Julio, Olga, and Heather meet us at the airport. We got all of our boxes back to the guest house without a problem. There was no meal on the flight so we were all quite hungry when we got in. Christian and Julio went out got us braised chicken and fries. We all ate together at 1:30 in the morning. Gavin was so tired he was like a zombie walking in circles. Then we all went off to bed. The house is really nice and having been to Africa and Indonesia nothing here has really surprised us. I have to remember that this IS all new for the kids. Things smell and bit different and look abit different but they are using “all their courage” and doing a great job.
We spent the day out and about with Olga, Julio, and their two youngest girls, Miranda and Natalia. Mimi is Emma’s age and Nati is Beth’s age. They seemed to have a great time together. We saw some sights in Lima. We went to Miraflores (I thought of you Shelly W.) Then after a long day we came back to the house. All the kids played crazy games of tag in the yard (VERY small walled in grassy area.) while Olga, Heather and I went to the grocery store to get things for dinner. I made the kids quesadillas with avocado on the side and watermelon for dessert. Not to different. Baths for all and then off to bed. I have to get the boys up – they are in a separate room across the hall. Today we have an appointment for our resident visas. Pray that goes smoothly.

I can hardly believe you're only 3 hrs away from us this morning! Welcome to Peru! If you're going to be in Lima for a while, why not make a weekend beach trip to Puerto Supe?
