Yesterday, was low energy to say the least. Jet lag and headaches from the sudden high altitude ruled the day. We managed to get out in the afternoon to walk around some and get our bearings in Old Town, also known as The Historical Center.

I can't begin to describe the empty feeling in a guys stomach when your in a foreign country with nothing but the clothes on your back and you stand there watching the carousel going around for the second day in a row without your bags on it. You can see the baggage containers out the window, they started with six and halfway through the 5th container my pack appeared, Donna's came in on the last one. What a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!
