Here I am, in Lima, Peru! I made it safe and sound, with my baggage and a ride to my hotel for the night. I got in at 4:30AM, got to the hotel at 6:00AM and slept for 2 hours. What a day! Lima is way bigger than I expected, and I´m definitely in a bit of culture shock. It´s just so different here.
Right now I´m in a little convenience shop that also has internet, and it´s only a block away from where I´m staying. I´ve met some really nice people so far, all willing to help me through this insane journey I´m on! I have my ticket for Trujillo tomorrow morning, and I´ll be in first class! It´s so cheap, might as well right? After 8 hours in the bus, and a short taxi ride, I should end up in Huanchaco, where I will be living and working for the next month. That sounds so wierd to say that! Wish me luck and I´ll see you next time in Huanchaco! Unless I get bored later today and come back here to post again!

Encountered any guinea pigs yet? So glad you're there, safe and sound. The journey begins!
i'm so glad you're doing this blog so we can keep up with your peruvian adventures. keep us posted and happy travels!
Holy cow, that's so awesome! I've been bragging about you and your adventure to everyone I see and we all send a big atta girl to you. Our old family friend in Sedona (a woman of almost 80) told the 3 of us whipper snappers (we're all in our 50s) that the most important thing we as women can do to spread the notion that women are equal to men wherever we go. We told her that we already feel equal and she said that we're the most fortunate ones and many women in the world don't live with that attitude. Our job, she said, was to promote women's equality with love and peace wherever we go. So I'm passing this on to you and would love to hear your observations in this regard. We'll all be watching for your posts and thinking of you often. Have fun! xoxoox
