Lima!

Hey everyone I'm in Lima! It was a hectic flight. My stopover flight to New York was an hour late, so I had to run from terminal 9 to terminal 4 at JFK, and it's like a maze there, and realy far! But I made my flight to Lima (barely) and that was an 8 hour night flight, and needless to say I only got about 2 hours of sleep. So here comes the good part. I clear customs, claim my bag, and exit through the last security checkpoint when I get swarmed by cab drivers. I literally mean it, swarmed like raw meat. So I chose one, at it made him the happiest cabbie in the world becasue he beat out all the rest. We became great friends for the 45 minute drive to the hotel.

I'm here a day early before the tour, and I already made a friend. So we went out into the city to look around. We're in an upper class suburb, and there's lots of markets and shops around. Very nice. Later I'm going on a tour of the city, where I should see the colonial city, including a pyramid, monestaries and catacombs. They promise a delicious traditional dinner and I might even see a show tonight of a typical Peruvian dance.

Yup, sounds pretty good for the first day.
