Day 1 : Lima, Peru

Hola Amigos!!!

So I have made it - south of the equator, to the undiscovered continent, to the land of Incas, to the other America. I arrived only this morning but I must say that it already feels like two or three days. Having not slept more than 2 hours in the past two days has accounted for the feeling of one really long day.

I left from Logan yesterday around 6:45pm. Trying to upload my ¨before¨ pictures is proving difficult, I´ll have to add them from another Internet cafe tomorrow.

I spent time walking around Lima today, the Miraflores part of town, which happens to be the nicest and safest. The sun was strong and it was hot, probably in the 80´s, and I´ve already got a sunburn! I´ve got a great hotel right near everything I´ll need; I´ll stay here for the next two nights before taking an early-morning bus on Saturday to Huancayo, the city where I will live, teach, and study for the next two weeks.

Check into my blog often, I´ll send periodic updates but it will likely be updated more often then I will remind you of.

A bus tour tomorrow will show me more of the city.

Sorry this isn´t a very exciting first entry, I´m still exhausted from the flight!

Hasta Luego!
