We Made It to Lima!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a total of around 12 hours of flying we made it to Lima! It is so cool to hear everyone speaking Spanish. We are staying at Hotel Senorial in the Miraflores district of Lima for Friday and Saturday night as the CCS house is full of last week's volunteers. We slept late (11AM) on Saturday. After a Peruvian lunch at Juana Damas we hit the streets to do what all good Americans do - SHOP!!!!! Rachel found the perfect souvenir - an Alpaca. She named it Misti, after the llama in the book "Secret of the Andes". Alex found a turtle. I found a purse. Everything is very inexpensive for us here. The dollar is equal to 2.75 Nuevo Soles. Tomorrow, we will be picked up at 8AM for orientation at the CCS house. I can't wait to hear what we will be doing.
