Hola!
We are all safe and sound in Lima! Our plane was delayed in Atlanta, due to bad storms. We arrived in Lima and went through customs quickly. No issues with customs. I was quite mindful of the fact we had boxes of synriges and gloves!
The women who have already assisted us in translating our materials and who will be helping us in interrupting arranged for a hotel and transportation. The transportation was waiting for us and we traveled quickly amongst the honking and beeping to Hotel El Caribe. Our rooms are on a busy main thorough fare and the honking is deafening.
Cafe con leche and bread are the usual breakfast fare! We have time to change money, buy water and get ready for our bus ride to Huarmey! We had hoped to do some shopping, but I do not think we will have time.
Our first day was long, but relatively uneventful. And we have HOT, muy caliented aqua for our showers! We all enjoyed the shower and there is no hot water in Huarmey-our next stop.
Our bus ride today takes us along the Pacific coast on the Pan American Highway.
Hasta Luego! More from Huarmey..

Happy to hear the arrival went OK and that you are safely on your way to Huarmey. I know how very excited Shelby was to experience a foreign country first-hand and getting off to a good start is so good!
Enjoy and travel safe!
