HOLA everyone!!! We made it to Peru!
The flight over wasnt bad at all. I mean I can pretty much sleep wherever I just pay for it in soreness when I wake up... haha. But I literally slept the entire flight except for the food part. haha.. I read a little and that ended quick because I couldnt hold my eyes open. We landed around 520am and walked out of customs at 615am... wow!!! it was crazy long getting through but we finally made it out. Plus Brent got red lighted and had to get a cavity search... ok maybe it wasnt THAT thorough, but he did mention the man with the rubber glove being surprisingly gentle... haha JUST KIDDING!!!
We got out and looked around... NO ONE! haha there were only peruvians everywhere I looked... no Naomi and no Kiera anywhere in sight. So my mind started reeling... what do we do? I kind of was like oh man how is this going to pan out. I went looking for a place in the airport to get wifi to possibly skype them and finally found a place and sat down. I didnt realize that they were already on there way and that they just got lost. It was good though. We waited around in the food court for a bit and then I heard my name being called and was like yessssss! haha I ate a mcdonalds sandwich and then we left and they took us to a hostel because aparently they lost the keys to their house and are staying with Kiera's boyfriend right now. So I am writing this update from..... STARBUCKS... drinking a peppermint mocha and listening to christmas music really trying to remind myself that I am in Lima, Peru!!!
Anyways so after we got to our place we checked in and PASSED out for like 3 hours and then went to eat at this place.... it was like one of the highest places in Lima overlooking the water.... Im talking one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen!!! Oh man SO amazing. Its like mtns right beside the ocean! best of both worlds!!! As I look out over the road and into the water about 200 meters, I see the waves lining up some pretty good looking lefts and got a really giddy feeling in my stomach!
After dinner we went home and went right back to sleep... the beds we had in the hostel were likened to stacked cardboard that really was not that comfortable... but never the less I slept through the night. We stayed another night at the hostel and now are at Kiera and Naomi's place which just a bit inland from the coast and south of Mira Flores. Its going to take some getting used to as we are like the ONLY Americans around. I stand out like a sore thumb being like 8 inches taller than anyone and long light colored hair. Its cool though. I look forward to learning the culture and the language... its going to be a must!!!
We go to Chorrillos on Saturday to meet everyone. Keep us in your prayers that everything goes well and I find some place that sells food in large portions for very cheap.. Im not kidding... I dont think Ive been full yet... haha.
Next update coming soon from Peru!
Much love,
Chris
