From Lima!

Hola dese Lima! I´m here and safe and sound and happy. Right now it is about 12 thirty, I leave for Bolivia at four oclock.

Here in Lima it is wintertime, and everything is very foggy. It is not cold, though. I am right in the center of Lima at a kind of walking mall with 2 friends from Germany. My flight got in at midnight last night and the original plan was to stay the night in the airport but it was so crazy that I decided to just get a room for the night. I saw two other guys with backpacks and asked them what they were doing for the night. They were cool and I wasn´t getting a creepy vibe from them, so we decided to look for a place together. We found a place in Miraflores, which is kind of a suberb of Lima for $10 each. It was great, it was more expensive than other places in the guidebook, but we had our own bathroom and everything.

One of the guys is a policeman from a little town called Memmingen in Bavaria. Memmingen is the town I stayed in when I went to Germany with Randy two years ago! The other one is going to be a math and religion teacher in primary school.

It is so nice to be able to talk to everyone! The taxi drivers, people on the street, everyone is so friendly. I will tell you next time about the Panamanian lawyer and the Columbian synchronized swimming team that I sat next to on the plane ride down. We have to go right now, but I will do another post soon! Ciao!
