Some pictures from the trip so far....
some wave-like clouds coming into Newark

Oh, to be in Newark....
After a couple of days of packing and saying goodbyes we're on our way to Peru! Big thanks go out to John & Penny Bell and Jerry Dahnke for picking us up at our house at 3:15 AM and ferrying us to the airport. We successfully checked in our 12 suitcases and made it through security unscathed (this was of great concern to Elijah!). Our flight from Indianapolis went smoothly and was fun as it was a first for Elijah and Carolyn. (Rebekah's a seasoned traveler, of course, but enjoyed this one like it was her first since she doesn't remember the trip from China very well. )

From Sue....Our flight to Lima was long (about 8 hours) but we all had our own video screen and we could watch what we wanted. Getting through immigration went smoothly and our 2 vans were waiting for us, so all in all not too bad. Our new digs remind one of the efficiency apartments you can rent at the beach which makes sense since we are at the beach! Elijah was up and dressed by 8 am and ready to walk to the beach. Eric, Elijah, Rebekah and I did walk to a park which is about 2 blocks away and I think I found my new running path. I will go out early as it is very humid. We then walked to the grocery store to pick up a few things and I am still trying to come to terms with both the milk and the eggs not being refrigerated! Plus you can buy Inca Kola in 3-liter bottles and milk sells by the quart. I can envision many trips there!
The exciting news of the day is that Giugliana is going to bring Yolanda, Miguel and Esteban here after work and then we are going to take them out for dinner or ice cream at the mall at Larcomar. We are really looking forward to that!
