made it to lima

so, were here! i would have written last night but i could not figure out how to make the @ symbol to sign on to the blog. obviously i found it but now i can´t figure out how to make things capitalized....crazy south american keyboards..

so, all in all everything is good. i mean that fact is that jess and i are safe and at the hostel and in south america. aside from that i just finished having the absolutely worst set of flights, connections and scheduling of my life. it would make your eyes roll in the back of your head if i told the whole story. so as of right now my bags are lost...it would be better if i wrote this last night since i just got an email from my mom that said that the airline has found my backpack. so not as big of a deal now.

just don´t go with cheaptickets.com. while for most of you that would be pretty obvious, i overlooked the obviousness of that idea in july when i was purchasing my ticket...

anyway, lima is wild. we had a craziest cab ride of our lives. i was delayed by 17 hours and god love her, but jess was still in the airport waiting. so i´m sure she is the one with the entertaining stories, really. but the traffic is nuts. imagine 4 to 5 cars driving on a 2 lane road through town. cops would not know who to pull over first for reckless opertion in the states. it is absolutly no holds barred driving.

our hostel is nice, quiet and surrounded by barbed wire ;-)

we have been brain storming on what to do for the days while my baggage showed up, but now that it has been found, i´m not sure that we will stay in lima any longer than we have to. it´s cool in a life experience, craziness way. but i don´t hang out in gary, indian, east st. louis, or compton normally. i probably could find places in peru that i am more interested in than lima. but it is wonderfully nuts

off to try and say anything correctly in spanish.. maybe use a banyo or two....

be well,
marc and jess
