In Miraflores, Lima, Peru

Arrived late last night, Friday October 27, and was picked up by my protective travel companions. The experience of getting out of the airport was in itself an adventure, one not to be understood completely. Staying a couple nights in a quaint scandanavian hotel across from the dark and dreary Pacific. Spent a few hours relaxing and walking around the many calles and eating peruvian chinese food. Will depart for Cusco in early morning tomorrow. International travel is not without many decisions and preparations, most of which are well worth the time and efforts. However, the constant feel of activity (currency exchange, phone calls, reservations, etc) in preparation for another activity, is unique and takes a few moments to get use too. Cusco and the Andes await.
