Estamos en PERUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We arrived on Tuesday around 11pm. I think we got to bed around 2am. We were up for almost 24 hrs straight. Lucy was a total champ! What a great traveler. She must have my Dad's wanderlust;)

We did have a 5 hr layover in Miami but managed to get some lunch, go outside for a bit and watch a movie. It was so helpful that we were all together, Victoria and her twin boys Jacob and David (age 2) David and Lucy are big buddies. It was about 5 hrs from Miami to Lima.

Wednesday we slept in thank goodness. When I woke up it felt like I was home. Peru is very similar to Colombia to me anyway. I couldn't wait to get out and see everything. Victoria's nieces watched the kids and we went to Mira Flores to change dollars into Neuvo Sols, shop and sightseeing. We went to Parque Kennedy and the ocean. Later that evening after the kids went to bed, Gabrial, Victoria's brother in law took us to Paseo de Aguas. It was incredible! They have a water show with many different colors and pictures imposed onto the water. There are also many different kinds of fountains. One in particular is very popular. If you are very careful you can jump in when the water goes down and not get wet.

Yesterday we went to la Catedral. This church is huge! It takes up almost a whole city block. We also were lucky enough to see the changing of the guard at the presidential palace. Very cool!

We're staying at Victoria's sister and brother in law's house. They are throwing an anniversery party. All of the furniture is piled in the office. There has been a ton of preparation for this. I think I'll need more coffee and my Spanish dictionary to make it through! Should be fun. I'm sure they will love to see the gringa dancing:)

Tomorrow They are taking us to Huaracus I think, near the beach. There's supposed to be sea lions, peguins etc. At least what I can make out in my limited Spanish. We will stay there for a few days and come back on Tues I think. We will find a hotel and relax for some much needed R & R.


Enjoy the photos!
