The Adventure Begins

Whoa. As of about 24 hours ago, Kyle and I are finally in Peru. We stayed last night and will be staying tonight at a hostel in Lima, which has been a great place to get our bearings. Today was quite an interesting day, though. Let me tell you, getting a cell phone in Peru is about 15 times more difficult than in the US, which was not aided by our non-fluent Spanish.

Also, in case you were wondering, embassies are not open on Sundays.

After much wandering around Lima today, we did make some progress, however. We have a bus ticket booked for tomorrow morning heading to La Merced, which is in (or near?) the Amazon. It is also near Oxapampa, where our first WWOOFing stop will be. We´ll be spending a few days in La Merced exploring the wilderness (which I am sure will be much more beautiful than Lima...); we are very excited about this next step in our adventure.

Adios!!
Megan y Kyle
