Wasted Days and Wasted Time

---

Well we arrived back in Lima expecting to take it easy for the night because we had an early flight the next morning. We had pretty much already had our fun exploring the city and to be honest its not one of my favorite places. It is ok, but not really for my taste. I am a much bigger fan of little villages versus big cities.

So we relax for the night so that we can be ready in the morning. at 7am we head to the airport we are waiting in front of the gate waiting to board our plane and somehow we missed the flight. I swear that they never called for boarding, but who knows. Anyways time to pay some fees to reschedule the flight for the next day. What a waste of time and money. Now we are stuck in Lima for one more day and we wasted a bunch of money with penalties and getting to and from the airport.

At this point Jeff is no longer down with staying in a hostel and wants to spring for a real hotel. I threw some money in on it, but it was really his deal. I won´t say that I did not enjoy it though. I admit it was not a complete waste of a ight, because we explored a really cool monastary from the 1600´s. They had some books that were made of sheepskin and also dated back to the 1600´s. Underneath the monastary there was some crypts we also got to explore. It was quite interesting. After the crypts we found this huge festival going on in the streets. So I guess not a total waste. Manana para Cuzco!

Francisco Monastary
This monastary is still in use by the franciscan monks, as it has been for the last 400 years or more. Sorry no pics of the inside, we were not allowed.

Can U See It
I know it is really light, but I was hoping you can see it. These are skulls and bones of the people of Lima. Many of these bones are over 400 years old.

Just Having Fun
This kid had a ball running back and forth through the pigeons

Dog ate your homework?
Missed the flight? Not that hard. On the other hand, perhaps the airport was a bit chaotic? Just a bit.
