Going to Cuzco... maybe

Uh Oh.

First big bump in the road- which isn't a huge bump. I got to the airport at 3:30 am to catch my flight to Cuzco and all went well until we boarded the plane and I fell asleep as soon as I sat in my seat. I woke up about an hour later and we were in the exact same place as we were before. We can't take off because of the weather in Cuzco so we are stuck in Lima. I actually tried to change my flight to stay in Lima for the weekend, but couldn't and now I'm here... but in the airport. We'll see... maybe it is meant for me to stay here?!?!

I can't even begin to describe how long it feels that I've been here. Not a few days but more like months. Dan got here and we've all been treking around Lima seeing new sights. I love the city as you can walk along the cliffs that over look the ocean for DAYS. Well at least a day which is what we did the other day. We met Dan around 11am and went for a walk down the beach and then back through the city (over looking the beach) and got back to the hotel at 5:30 pm. It was awesome!

We have spent all of our time with Willy's family- I met his sisters yesterday- once again, that kid has such an amazing family. His sister, mom and cousin took us around all day yesterday- we got in the ocean (which is not beautiful by any means when you are from Oregon) and it is some DIRTY water. I figure you only live once and all the peruvians were doing it... but I don't even want to know what I was swimming in?!?!

We have had a TON of civiche (spelling?) which is A-Mazing... but if I don't get sick this trip it will be a small miracle.

we just got called to board again- we'll see how it goes.. bye for now.
