From 2012 Perú

Friday: August 7

We left with the anticipation and excitement of revisiting our friends in Huanta.

We had a short flight to Atlanta and a 4 hour layover until our flight to Lima... sorry no Mexican Dominoes this time... We decided to use the weight instead for children's clothing.

We arrived in Lima at about 10:30 p.m. Everyone made it through most of the security areas without much fanfare. A couple of us we're stopped in the Lima airport for a search of our luggage but, after a few questions, we were allowed to continue.

As we exit the airport we realize that our bus has not arrived. So we wait. Within 30 minutes we are greeted by Brenda Paredes and her father. Brenda is a PC(USA) young adult volunteer that travelled with us. She calls Sara Armstrong PC(USA) and Brenda advises us that Sara, her husband Rusty and Samuel Montes are on their way. Soon, the bus arrived and we were on our way south, down the Pan American Highway toward the small town of San Clemente.

With the anticipation of a 10 hour bus ride, I decided to take advantage of the open road and get a few hours of "shut eye". So, I take my trusty Ambien and within a few minutes... I'M OUT!
