Day 1: Saturday January 21st

The flight from Houston to lima took only about 6.5 hrs, but then with my 30lb backpack and other backpack, I had to wait in line for an hour and a half to get through immigration. Once I got my 6 month visa, I headed for baggage claim. I was easily able to get a cart and was finally able to set my backpacks on it. My shoulders let out a sigh of relief. My two big bags came fast, but my little pink one was still missing. I waited about 15 minutes until there were no more bags on the carousel. Thankfully, about 10 other people from my flight had missing bags as well, so I just followed the herd and filled out some forms so hopefully my bag will be delivered here, to Pisco headquarters Monday morning.

Once I dealt with that, I made my way across the street to the Ramada Costa Del Sol hotel. It is gorgeous, especially compared with the rest of the city. I checked in, went up to my room, skyped my mom,  took a magical shower, had a Cuzquena, then drifted off to sleep at around 2:00am. 
 The yummy airplane food.

 Three hours more to fly.

About Me

Hello! I will be in Pisco, Peru for about 6 months with the organization Pisco sin Fronteras volunteering to help rebuild the city after an 8.4 earthquake in 2007. I thought I would share my experiences and pictures from everyday with whoever wants to check it out!
