The condor has landed.

Dateline: Lima. 7:00 am. We've gone through customs  and there is a shiny new (pink!) stamp in my passport!

 

I have already seen two people at the airport this morning wearing Chicago Bears shirts. Poor misguided souls. Don't worry, I brought a Packers shirt for later this week. #represent

The flight from Miami went well. The seats and temperature were comfortable and all three of us slept for at least a short while, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still tired. It took five and a half hours, not four and a half like I'd thought because, as it turns out, Lima is back in the Central time zone. It is foggy/cloudy here so we can't really see much scenery beyond the tarmac. Hope this clears up before Machu Picchu tomorrow. 

Our flight to get here left last night/this morning at 2:00am. It's about a two and a half hour drive from Mom's to the Miami airport, so naturally we left the house at 1:30 in the afternoon. Aside from a stop at Walgreens so Emily could buy sunglasses, we didn't really have any concrete plans.

We ate at a place called Rocco's Tacos in Delray Beach.



After lunch we drove to an open-air mall in downtown Miami. There was live music and I found some adorable new sandals. Here's Mom & Em with the market in the background. 



Our next flight leaves at 9:40, and then we have one more bus ride before we arrive at our hotel for tonight.

Maybe might need to schedule a little nap in there too.
