Peru - Another Adventure Begins!

---

Hello family and friends!

I landed in Lima, Peru two days ago and we finally made it to Cusco last night. For those who don´t know, I´m in Peru for six weeks, helping my friend, Jonee, who´s starting a volunteer cultural immersion program in Huancayo and also just traveling around before I start school again in the fall. My cousin, Courtney, married a Peruvian and they´re both here too, along with one of the program participants, Liz.

So far it´s been an adventure, and a lot of fun. Cusco is a beautiful, mountainous colonial town near Machu Pichu, which we´re going to visit on Monday. We just got here last night, after spending about 14 hours in the Lima airport because the early morning flight we originally booked took off for Cusco, flew an hour to Lima, decided it was too cloudy to land and then flew us back to Lima, where we waited several more hours for another flight. So, we just got in last night, had dinner and walked around the town a little and went to bed after about 48 hours of no sleep. The adventure begins! We´re off to explore more today and I promise my next entry will be more interesting, and hopefully it will include pictures. Just wanted to test this blog out again after years of not using it, and let everyone know we´re here and enjoying it immensely.

Hope everyone is well!

Love,
Brooke
