Finally, we got our passports back from the Brazilian Embassy. I don´t like not having it, but now it´s got this nice visa stamp to add to my collection. I don´t know if it was worth $100 dollars, then again I didn´t have much choice. We´ll see. Anyway, we´re planning on heading south the Pisco tomorrow, that is if our laundry dries and we find the bus station. From there we´ll hang out around the coast for a couple days, then climb back into the Andes to visit the rest of the family, in Ayacucho. From there the tentative plan is to go to Cuzco (and Machu Pichu) then Bolivia. Little by little, we´re getting there. Next month we should be pretty close, if not already in, Brazil.

Our stay in Lima was semi productive, got the visa, got my shots, got a package mailed home (keep an eye out, expected to be arriving soon!). Though I spent a fair amount of time (lots) lounging around, it was nice to rest completely, eat well, see a few movies and just recuperate from the traveling and the illness. I think I´ve lost some weight, which I´m not to thrilled about, but my metabolism just won´t slow down. I feel fine, I guess I just burn all my energy walking. I´m looking forward to moving on, as our stay here was a bit "sheltered" being housed in such a nice part of town, but it was definitely worth it. The family has treated us like their own, much because Scott´s been here a couple times before, and we´ve been able to get to know a less common socio-economic lifestyle in Peru: upper class. Certainly nice, but not necessarily my style.
