First day in Lima






















What a crazy city... We arrived late last night to a taxi driver holding a sign with our name on it...(a missionary who we have emailed back and forth but never met arranged it all thank goodness!) We are staying with another mission worker down here, Alexandra.

This morning we awoke to some fresh mango banana juice and bread with passion fruit and honey spread on top.
Then we found a clinic that would give us the yellow fever vaccination (which we found out only yesterday was necessary to have in order to get in and out of most of the countries we are going to), so all set there:)
The rest of today was spent walking around the neighborhood of Lima called Miraflores, eating ceviche (raw fish soaked in lime juice and onions), watching the surfers, hardly staying alive on the bus and in the taxi, and otherwise just taking it pretty slow.

Tomorrow Jonny will be taking some photos of products for local artisans that are part of a fair trade organization and then we will be off to who knows where:) Guess well let you know once we figure it out!

much love
