Feels Like a Lifetime Later

Wow! So much and somehow hardly anything at all has happened. We left Jeri for Recife, spent two nights in Recife, and then took a long and difficult journey to Salvador. SO SO many bumps in that road. Too many to explain. Sadly, we left Ayaloosh at the bus station in Salvador, and J and I headed to the airport. We flew to Sao Paulo, where we waited for 6 hours. After 6 hours of waiting we went to check in to our flight, where they alerted us that since i didnt have the card stating that i had the yellow fever vaccine (it got stolen in my wallet) i was at risk of getting deported from Peru. But J and I decided to risk it! After all, it wouldve made a great story...twenty years down the road. But, we made it into Lima, Peru without a hitch. Be ware of the Panama City airport though, only one restaurant....with some gnarley side effects. Abbas friend Danny sent a driver to pick us up from the airport, and the driver brought us to Dannys wonderful house. We explored Lima for about a day and a half. We visited the Mercado de los Indios and saw the awesome Larcomar mall, which is literally built into a cliff. Then today we went paragliding off the beachfront cliffs, and i even got to land on the beach! At one point we ¨stalled¨ in the air and it was one of the coolest feelings i have ever had, like floating in thin air. We are now at the airport waiting to fly to Puno, but silly us, we got here WAY too early.

Happy Fourth of July! I wish I could be there....but i am SO glad im here!!

See you in 23 days!
Love and kisses
