Part I: Our first month in Peru (Lima)

This is going to be much more summarized than I first expected, but it has been a while...

Leaving Tampa, we had put all our stuff in storage and had 2 suitcases each to survive the next 3.5 months. We knew it would be a great adventure plus some real quality time with my fam!

And our story begins...

We arrived in Lima in the first hours of Feb 5th and were headed out to the beach that same afternoon for a fun weekend at the beaches south of Lima. We shared a bungalow w grandma and grandpa... It was super fab!! The coast strip we were in was called Asia, it's like the beaches at St Pete... Tons of different areas w their own private bungalows, etc. The beach had some great waves and everything was just relaxing... great way to start of our vacay!



Justin loving the waves!






The rest of the month we were in Lima, we spent visiting with fam and taking small tours throughout Lima. We visited some real cool museums and sites.










































It was also great to see the fam several times.




















My aunt Chabuca visited while we were in Lima.I miss her a lot and was really glad to catch up and spend time with her.














The higlight of my time in Lima was my Bday! I hadn't spent a Bday in Peru since I left back in 1989... that's right, 20 years ago! It was really special to be able to celebrate with everyone. My grandma threw a party for me on Saturday and I was sooo glad everyone made it. It really was one of the happiest times I had there. I was overwhelmed with happiness. :-)












I'll leave on that happy note as my eyes are filling with tears remebering those days. Part II: Abancay will come real soon.
Lots of love and be good.
XOXO- RW
