We arrived in Lima this morning at 1 am...and then proceeded to sleep till noon. At least Jen did - I for one got up before 10 to make sure I got my free breakfast! We somehow managed to get everything done before we left, but it was close...only managed about 3 hours of sleep a night for the three nights leading up to our departure. Thank you to all of you that helped us through all of our last minute details. The night before we were in Albert´s house in Seattle packing our bags until 3am. We have too much stuff but hard to know what to bring when we are planning to go from the muggy/hot Peruvian coast to 20,000 foot peaks in Bolivia (I hope anyway). We will try to post some photos soon that show our ¨send off ceremony¨in Chelan...a stark contrast in weather from the current very humid 80 degrees weather here in Lima....Jen says that it feels like an August day in Iowa.

Wow Jen and Andrew! How wonderful that you are already on the first day of your Bolivian adventure. Coincidental things keep happening to make me think we live in such a connected universe. I heard an interesting story on NPR, (I'll bet you missed THIS one Andrew ) about carnival in Bolivia. here's a link http://www.npr.org/templates/story/

Sounds like February could be an amazing month where you are.
Also, if you read the comments on the superdalgas about you guys, you will see that Ben and Amy have friends and family who have been or are involved in the Bolivian Youth Ministries.
So glad you arrived and it will be fun to see what happens next! Stay cool - (it has been hovering around 0 degrees here) We are quite envious.
Andrew and Jen, I am so glad you arrived safely and a free breakfast to greet you, what could be better? besides the weather! It was 1 degree when I left the house this morning. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
