Not many people hop on a bus to P.Supe during their first 5 days in Peru, but we did. With some much needed help from Adela we caught the bus in Lima, traveled to P.Supe - everyone on the bus thought the gringo kids were so cute (they would pat them and touch their hair when we got on and off) - everyone made sure the gringos got off at the right spot. They were almost cheering for us as we pulled up to the bus stop. We managed to get a taxi and arrive at the Murrays house.
Sunday morning Tim and Hannah took us to the next town over, Barranca, to catch a bus back to Lima. We got tickets and got right on the bus. We were lucky that the returning bus was cleaner than the first. We followed Tim's directions and got off at this plaza in Lima and managed, on our own to get a taxi, go to the store and get another taxi back to the house. We were tired but very happy we managed to do all that. The little boys fell asleep on the bus and wouldn't wake up when it was time to get off. Max sleep-walked off the bus and I had to throw Gavin over my shoulder. We were quite a sight. A very nice lady asked about the kids while we were figuring out where to catch the taxi. It was great how much I could understand. It is frustrating how little I can say (for those who know me well, that is exceptionally difficult for me.) The lady did warn us not to pay more than 6-7 soles for the taxi. Glad she did, the driver tried to charge us 12 soles.
Christian went back to the bus station today with Julio to drop off our boxes. We are going to have them bused to Arequipa. We leave tommorow for our new home. I can't believe we've only been here 6 days.
Here are some pictures of the road we traveled on
