Primer Dia

Hello friends!


It is officially my first day in Cajamarca, Peru! I'm going to be trying to upload at least one picture a day just to show you what is going on! This is a picture of where we ate lunch today (we being Amy, Eric and I). It is a beautiful little hotel and spa with a great little restaurant. 



 I survived my 16+ hours of air travel and I am officially in Cajamarca! The last 24 hours have been a whirlwind of events. I flew from Minnesota to Atlanta and from there I took the 6-hour flight into Lima. Once I got there I passed through customs with great ease and went to go find Amy. Once I found her we went looking for the taxi she had gotten for us earlier that day. After about 40 minutes of searching the airport we decided to find another taxi and go to our hotel*.  Going to the hotel was a bit of a jaunt into Lima, but it was worth it. The hotel was BEAUTIFUL, absolutely stunning in every regard and Amy and I slept like babies. In the morning we took a quick little 1-hour flight to Cajamarca and met up with Eric.

From there they took me to the restaurant I mentioned above. Amy and I also took the dogs for a walk. she has two dogs, Moby and Lola, they have very distinct personalities and love to be around people. Moby is the the one on the right and Lola is the one on the left. 





*One thing you should know about the Lima airport, there are people asking if you need a taxi every five feet, I’m not making this up, and they are for sure the most obnoxious people you have ever seen in the world constantly asking “Taxi? Taxi?” even if they just saw you say no to the 16 different men in front of them.  Amy is a pro at avoiding them so I took her lead and just pushed my way past them.
