Back in the USA
The Beetles sang "Back in the USSR, you don't know how lucky you are boy..." Well, we're back in the USA and I'm missing Peru. Every minute was an adventure.
I'll post the final chapters of "The Enemy of my Friend is My Enemy" once I have had a chance to recover from jet lag and bus lag. (For now it is enough to say that I also have friends and connections.) Just to give you an idea, we spent seven hours on the bus from Huancayo to Lima (during which time I slept at most an hour). In Lima we realized that we had to leave that same night for the US. So we frantically did our things during the day, and rushed to the airport for our 1AM flight. Eleven hours on the plane (during which time I slept at most a hour and a half), and here we are. So, while Paty's in good shape - she slept through nearly all of the bus ride and the plane trip, I'm still a wreck. I don't sleep while traveling.
I think I'll take a hot shower. Paty told me that there is plenty of water - what a treat!
