I'm in Lima! Our flight from Miami to Lima was less crowded than I thought it would be. We had three people waiting for us at the gate. Patty is going to be our main tour guide. On the way from the airport to our hotel, she gave us a little history lesson. It's about 11:30 pm and we have to get up at 5:00 am for our flight to Cusco. The altitude is about 11,000 above sea level,so it's going to be pretty taxing on our bodies. Some of the teachers are going to take altitude medication, but I'm just going to see what happens. I was at a really high altitude when I was in Tibet and nothing happened. We're going to take it easy for the first part of the day. Patty told us that we have to drink loads of water. If we do that, we'll feel much better.
The photo is a night view from our hotel room- room 503. There's no a/c which is fine, but there also isn't a screen in the window. Luckily, this isn't mosquito country! That's at the end of the trip.
