Benvenidos a Lima, Peru!

Welcome, friends!

Our day yesterday was a mostly care-free and trouble free time of conversation and getting to know our team better.   We met at O'Hare - unexciting, but required - and flew to Miami for a two-hour layover.  So far, so good.

Our plane leaving for Lima seemed to be doing fine - then we heard of some 'issues', none of which were serious, though a compulsory delay was in order.  We waited at the gate on a plane with minimal ground climate control for about an hour and a half before heading to the sky to cross the Equator and land in Lima just after 10pm!  OH - and local time is the same as Central Daylight Time, so for those of you following from the midwest, you don't have to calculate time zones!

Both flights were smooth, and the sunset from the International flight was breathtaking - even with a wing in the view so you know I was in a plane. ;-)

Amazing sunset from the plane - somewhere near Panama.

We stayed the night in the Manhattan Inn, just outside the airport.  This is a nice hotel, which serves breakfast in the morning and is situated across the street from a small square.  It also offers a nice view of the underside of planes taking off from the airport - but flights did not run through the night.


Sunday Morning at Manhattan Inn.

 This morning, we are meeting our group for breakfast and another fun drive back to the airport for our flight to Arequipa.  Have we told you about South American drivers?  Ah... another story for another post!

Thank you again and always for your support and prayers,
The PCB-LWW Team
