We’re Home

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

We’re almost home. Minneapolis to be exact. We left Lima last night around 11:00 and slept for most of the flight. We even got a chance to finish watching the movies we started on the flight down. We arrived to Newark about 20 minutes late and thought that we had missed our connecting flight. But thankfully after running through customs, immigration, and security we made it to our plane! (It was delayed due to some mechanical problems) We waited on the plane for another 30 minutes so the airport people could bring us milk for our Honey Nut Cheerios and then finally took off.

Now we’re waiting for our ride so we can get to Green Bay. We’ll be back around midnight tonight.

Our last day in Lima was fantastic. I’m a little too tired to tell all the details right now. But I will say that it included gorging ourselves on a mountain of desserts, paragliding off the cliffs of Miraflores, and playing in the waves of the Pacific Ocean.

This is from the monestary that we visited. These are barbed wire tools the nuns used to hurt themselves. Think The Davinci Code.

Sorry, I couldn´t get it to turn the right way. But this is for Ken. It´s the bathroom that Saint Ana used. We´ve used many squats, but never had the pleasure of taking a picture.

Ramblings

I just wrote a post last night, but it´s now 6:00 a.m., everyone in the hostel is asleep except for me and the orange cat that I´ve named "Calabaza," and to the best I can tell by looking out the ... [Continue reading this entry]
