Lima!!!

Ok so after 16hrs between waiting in Miami airport and flights we arrived in Lima at the nice old hour of 4.10am!!! What a legend my friend Marie came and met us at the airport. It was so cool to see her, haven't seen her since our wedding almost 5yrs ago.

Well firstly to say it was so sad to say goodbye to the Steiners we miss them unbelievably. Had a blessed and wonderful hanging out with them. They blessed and looked after us so well. Now we are on our next adventure and it has been that already. We came from the airport back to their house to drop off our bags and straight to a mining company where Marie and Zalo teach an English class so we helped out with that from 7.30-9.30am. Did you ever think that after a few hours sleep we could function that well hehe. Well miracles can happen. We then came back home after the class to change clothes and then were off to Gamaliel where these guys are involved in a great project. More on that to come. But we got to hang out with some pastors and meet some lovely people here. We got some taxis and local buses and headed out to this amazing place where we were surrounded by these huge mountains!!! Dust everywhere it is quite the desert place. On our way back at about 5.30pm we were sitting on the bus when these kids jumped on with a box and a shaker and started to busk as we traveling along. They were so noisy it was funny, as soon as they got money they jumped off onto another bus to do the same. Then these two guys got on with guitars and played Peruvian music. It was unreal, I don't think I'll forget that scene. So we got home and showered and then I ran to the airport with Marie to collect a present sent down from her dad and then we headed back in a taxi at night just the two of us!!!!!!! Scarey!! but what an experience. god is good and this is only the first day.

we'll blog as soon as we can . Love ye all. Do drop us a note. xo
