We're Here!

Sorry everyone for the late update, but we made it to Lima! With no problems whatsoever. It was amazingly smooth and we are so thankful for that. John Mark Davidson and Mark Clancy met us at the airport and brought us Inca Kola, which is an extremely popular drink here. See picture below :)

We've been very busy getting settled in here. We are all moved into to our houses and we have local cell phones and copies of our passports to carry around with us for our ID. We've also ridden in several taxis and one bus but always accompanied by someone who knows what they are doing. The four of us are figuring out how to get around pretty quickly though. As long as we have a map, we can pretty much walk wherever we want! 

Last night was Youth Night at the Davidson's. "Youth" is basically college age, all about 20 or older. This happens once a month and we just got together and played games, watched a Nooma video, and sang some songs in Spanish! It was so fun to hear familiar songs but in a different language as well as some new ones. 

We start language school on Monday morning at 9:00 and it will be Mon-Fri from 9-1 for about a month. We are all really excited about this because the language barrier has been very frustrating at times. So we have lots of motivation to learn as much as possible! 

We have some pictures of our adventures around town as well as from Youth Night that are on their way :) 

Chao from Lima! y mucho amor!
