Back in Lima

We got to sleep in a little bit this morning as the taxi did not arrive until 8:30.  We had a nice breakfast at the airport.  We sat on an outside patio with the mountains  all around. It occurred to us that with TSA that would not have happened at home. Arequipa is so beautiful.  We arrived here in Lima about 12:00 and had our taxi driver Eduardo waiting for us.  (and here I lost most of the blog so this will now be short....sorry). We went to lunch at the vegetarian cafe that we had found last time we were here.  We had a big lunch for around $3.  Then we hit up the big grocery store for some snacks for tonight.  Finally, we stopped at the bubble tea place.  They don't blend them here and you get to select from 5 types of tea. A bit different from home.  We are now back at the hostal.  Our flight to Ayacucho is at 5:30 AM so Eduardo will pick us up at 3:30.  Hopefully he will be more awake than he was today.  He dozed off at a red light.  We picked up our suitcases here at the hostal that we had left almost 2 weeks ago.  Here many hostals let you leave luggage that you don't need while you are traveling.  We left the things that we had packed for Ayacucho.  Tomorrow we will finally arrive at our home away from home.  We are excited to get to know that place and the progam that GeGe has established.  Time to go, it is getting dark and I am sitting on an outside terrace as the internet strength is not  strong enough in the room.  Love to you all from Peru! I need a shower!  Yippee for the hot water here!!!
