After countless hours on planes and sitting in airports (who would have guessed Dallas and Miami are on the way to Peru), I have finally made it to Lima. I was expecting a bustling, crazy, sunny city.... When I arrived I found a quiet, hazy, ghost town of a place. Apparently, people in Peru are not up at 6:30 am... I suspect my original expectations will be correct once the city wakes.
The good news is that I did have a good taxi driver, I practiced my Spanglish on him. I even grabbed a pocket English-Spanish dictionary at the airport in Miami so I could perfect my Spanglish. Its amazing what you remember from 2 years of high school Spanish, about 10 years ago (in addition to lots of trips to Mexico and a couple trips to Espana).
