hi friends!!

we made it to tarapota on friday and got to wait inside the airport for 4 hours. it was nice to get to hang out with victor and elizabeth for extra time but the taxi ride over was pretty rough. they were fixing one of the roads and the detour was a little bumpy (especially for our sick people).

we arrived in lima friday night and everyone was pretty worn out, EXCEPT for a brave team of us who decided to try and find some food. The flan was amazing and justin and ken enjoyed some smoothies. it was SO nice to be able to sleep in today. we had a great breakfast and everyone set out to explore lima.

everyone enjoyed the market, and then some people went out and took a bus ride to see Lima up close and personal. 

it was interesting trying to barter with the vendors inside the market. the people in my group were able to convince a couple of vendors to lower their price significantly if we bought in bulk. at the end of the day, I didnt mind spending a few extra soles because thats really only a dollar in US currency.

the sick people are starting to perk up which is great. we did enjoy some down time today and got to watch several american movies dubbed over in spanish. it was pretty hilarious watching tom arnolds mouth move and spanish words coming out.

the high point group just left and should be at the airport right about now. it was sad to see them go but we know there will be many reunions to come!

OUR GROUP WILL GET UP AT 3 AM AND HEAD TO THE LIMA AIPRORT FOR OUR 6 AM FLIGHT!!!

see you guys in the US

blessings
