An Hour Late, But On Time

That title encompasses a lot of life here. How a scheduled plane flight can just be rescheduled that morning and then register as on time when you get in the air and hour and twenty minutes late is one of the mysteries of Peru.



This past week has been a rough one. The adjustment to school for the kids has been difficult. They have some really good days and other days when they cry most of the afternoon because they don't want to go back. It has been a HUGE adjustment for all of us. I have also discovered that the craziness of the last week and a half is common to all Peruvian households when school starts - "March Madness" has a different context down here.



Pucallpa was really great - it is difficult to describe so I am just going to show you a video of downtown. It will give you a little taste of the "city". This video was takes from the truck of a fellow SAMer as he took us to town to get us cell phones. It is of the part of the city right on the river.

I HAVE NOW TRIED 4 TIMES TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO - IT WON'T WORK. I WILL TRY AGAIN LATER. SORRY - A.L.
