in llama land

Hello TFPeople and friends!

I am safe and sound in Lima, Peru. Our flight out of Atlanta was WAY delayed because we had to debark and completely switch planes. The air conditioning was broken. I tried to take a shower this morning which was difficut because I had to keep my mouth shut so water wouldn´t get in. No diarrhea for me...yet. We toured Lima today and it was so fascinating. We went down into some tombs and I totally felt like Indiana Jone´s assistant! I don´t have much time right now because we are going to go explore the area of Barranco where I stayed last night. I finally put my Spanish skills to work in the cabs we took and it was amazing. We are headed to a village tonight so don´t expect any posts soon. Sorry this one was so short!

2 days

I will be leaving for Peru in about 2 days and I'm starting to get really nervous. I just got my updated itinerary and before, when I read it I would get extremely excited, but now I get anxiety. Hopefully it's more excitement than dread. Either way I have a new bottle of chill pills so I'll be covered. I'll be packing up the rest of my stuff tomorrow and then I'll be ready for my early morning flight on Saturday.

a coming adventure

I'm leaving for Peru in 16 days. I've decided that instead of trying to write a million individual emails I'm going to log my adventures here. I'll have Internet access all but 4 out of the 22 days I'm down there, so I should be able to be consistent. I hope I can write you something worth reading.
