¿Como se dise? ¡Yo soy en Lima!..






Last night I fell asleep in about 30 seconds...
We'd just eaten at an amazing restaurant recommended by our hostel gal, home to the most famed chef in Lima....and niether of us have any clue what we were eating. I'll call mine, chicken kebob a la amazing sauce, and I'll call brad's Chicken and potatos a la gravy. Our waiter was more than patient
with our horrible Spanish, and even took us over to the kitchen to show us what his favorite platos ''para piqar'' were.
Of course, we were exhausted...The kind of exhausted you can only be after you've been on a red-eye for 10 hours, in the emergency exit row where the floor space is wide...and the seats don't go down! ..who knew....Then finally got off after a total of 4 hours of interrupted sleep, bargained for a cab, and then held onto your boyfriend for dear life as our driver navigated the masses of trucks and cars all trying to get wherever they were going as fast as humanly possible.

But we made it..Hostel Malka, a non-descript home in on of the lesser known nieghborhoods, with a lovely yard in the back, a climbing wall, and a bunch of drunk 20 year olds yacking in the bathroom. ...oh hostels..the possiblities!...
Many have recommended we not stay in Lima too long, and I think we agree, although I feel like it could be a reallly fun place if you knew someone...so I may come back one day. Today we will start planning our next mo

nth in Peru...Some surfing, beaches, then Cuzco and Machu Picchu...
Pictures will come...as soon as I take some...
