Arrival

Yay so I arrived in Lima around 11:30 Sunday night and finally got through customs at 1 am. So here I sit on a cold tile floor in the airport as I wait for my next flight to Cusco at 9:30am. All flights have been pretty good so far. Basically, I find most of my entertainment from watching people in the terminals because you see all kinds of characters. My favorite, by far, was this short gremlin-looking guy who did himself no favors by dressing his five-foot frame in a lime green shirt and dying the front of his hair and goatee bright red. I laughed (on the inside) and went on my merry way.

Winter coat, bad idea. Not only is it a pain in my ass to pack but I'm sweating from the very tight 1 hour connection in Newark and the proceeding arrival in a very humid Lima. At 1 am, the current temperature is 72 degrees (sorry Wisconsin folks) and sitting in the customs line for a few hours was really a joyous occasion. If you want to feel like a tourist (which I never ever do) may I suggest wearing a backpacking bag around the Lima airport. Oh, and be a blonde female. You won't stick out at all.



Next stop: 8 days in the cool and rainy Cusco. Tune in for an update on how I fair at roughly 11,000 feet with no sleep.
