Lima Peru: April 21 2006: First Day
My flight was early flying into Lima at 10:30pm on the 20th. It was fairly painless, got some good sleep on the plane, and the Japanese couple next to me didn’t speak any english so it was a quiet ride, minus the crying, seat-kicking child sitting behind me.
When I exited the plane I followed the signs leading to Imigrationes. On the way to customs I asked a man who had been on my plane a question about the baggage claim area, and we ended up chatting for a few minutes in line waiting to get our passports stamped. I told him about how I wanted to go to the jungle, la selva, near Pucallpa, and about how I had sold everything a few weeks ago because I felt like I should be coming to Peru for some reason. He reached into his cary-on bag and pulled out a book written in spanish, but I didn’t need to understand Spanish to realize he was holding a book called The Celestine Prophecy. I had just seen one of the first showings of the new movie which is about the The Celestine Prophecy in Portland just before I left for Peru.
If the movie comes to your area you must see it.
The Celestine Prophecy is about a guy who goes to Peru and has an incredible experience of awakening into a new reality- where synchronicity and coincidences are actually part of a process of becoming more aware.
Fernando gave me his number if I ever needed anything while in Peru, and he was on his way. I found a driver holding a sign with my name on it who was waiting for me from Home Peru, a hotel in Lima. We waited for two other passengers before loading up into a small black car and driving through the dark deserted streets of Lima. 30 minutes later I was safely asleep in my room dreaming of the adventure ahead.

Hi down there !
What's it like looking up at different constellations than the ones you saw up here ? I read "The Celestine Prophecy" many years ago. We have our own purposes on this earth and do attract to ourselves depending on who and what we are. You ought to write your own book someday, but I guess we will be reading it through your journals as time goes on. Look up, laugh and live ! Hugs, Grandma
