So we started our journey at 5:30 am pacific standard time when we left Downey (woot woot) Shout out to hoops thanks for the ride! From there we got on a plane to Houston. When we landed in Houston we already felt like we were in another country, people seriously wear cowboy hats! When we got off the plane we immediately smelt Barbeque and knew that we had to have it, so we left our gate in search for delicious food! As we sat and ate our barbeque and Wendy´s frosties We said goodbye to the USA!
At our gate we meet our first South American boyfriend Ivos. He is a rock climber from Chile and offered to give us a discounted price on Andes mountain tours if we were in the area. Just thought you all should know... Don´t worry Moms we aren´t going to marry anyone in South America, but we might come back to visit a few! So there you have it we still got it!
Our next and final Layover was in Panama. P.S. Panama was like LAX but with a little more Spanish. As we boarded the plane for the last time we quickly realized that the seats were much smaller and wished we hadn´t eaten everything given to us on the flights and Texas barbeque! Hopefully by the end of our trip we will be able to fit in the seats thanks to some friendly parasites. So after an uncomfortable four hours we landed in Lima Peru.
So as we walked through customs and got our passports stamped we realized we had made it! The Lima airport was crowded with people and our original plan to just sleep on the ground was quickly kabashed by our fears of being kidnapped! As we looked down at the crowd we say some obvious fellow Americans and thought hey maybe they can direct us in the right direction and they did. The group we came across was a group of missionaries from the midwest going to a remote part of the Jungle to give medical care. They were so awesome! They let us hangout with them in the airport and even let us ride on the fancy tour bus to a little beauty of a hotel The Hotel Manhattan, which is an airport hotel. They were seriously a blessing! Thankyou Sandy and Beth if you ever get the chance to read this, you are both amazing!
Now we our sitting in our little jem of a hotel on the lobby computer with empty bellies since we slept through our free breakfast, but all in all we are happy and ready to find a cheaper place to Stay in Miraflores for the night. We miss you all already! Moms we love you, don´t worry we are safe and smart and friendly which is a great combo! Until next time Adventure is out there!
