Peru: June 18-19, 2006

Saturday: We arrived at Centro Girasoles at around 3am after a LOOOOOONNNGGGG bus ride back through the mountains. We ate breakfast with the boys at the Lima center, and then went for a city tour. After our tour, the boys did their choreography for us, and then we were off for some shopping in the Indian Market. Nick and Daniel bought some crazy fur hats that make them look like they have just done a time warp from the 70´s. (pictures to be added later for viewing enjoyment).

Following the shopping we went to eat dinner at an Italian restaurant (YUM). Then our group was separated....most of the people went to the airport, while Susan, Buzz, Elizabeth, Marsha and I went to the La Molina Hotel to await the rest of our team.

Sunday: OK, so last night I officially had the warmest and longest shower I have ever had in Peru. I feel so clean =) We are still waiting for the rest of our team. They are stuck in Houston because of storms last night. We are hoping that they will arrive tonight (they are on standby, so please pray that they make it today). Either way, the rest of us have to go on without them, and they will catch up with us in Iquitos.

I am going to eat some breakfast now! Our flight to Iquitos leaves at 5. We are off for another adventure! I think that this week will be harder than the last one. Iquitos is said to be very impoverished. Please pray for us and the work that God would have us do. Apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iquitos
