Leslie´s not in Kansas anymore!

¡Hola Amigos! All is well here! Although we made it safely, it was not without adventure. Our flight had probs at the gate in Dallas, so we had to RUN to catch our flight to Miami. When we got there 15 minutes after board time, they hadn´t even begun to board. We said a quick prayer that our luggage would make it and stood in yet another line. We had a delicious midnight dinner....and it was really good...or i was really hungry. And then settled down to rest. Well, tried, but my seat wouldn´t go back. So I got about 1 1\2 hr sleep on the plane. We had forms to fill out and I had the pleasure of sitting next to a little Peruvian lady who told me to fill out her forms for her. Of course, at 1 a.m. I couldn´t thinkof the words "no comprendo" so I did the best I could and hoped she wouldn´t be pulled aside at customs!!!! She then had a conversation with me of which I had no idea what she said. But she was very sweet!! Chris and I got to the hotel around 5 a.m....which by the way, we are on Olathe time...woo hoo! and the employee invited us to go up to the second floor and wait for...well, whatever. I stretched out on one couch and got another hour or so of sleep....good sleep! We have spent the day so far wondering around Lima close to our hotel, showering up and preparing for lunch and touring. To my friends and family...when I post, I will have my name in the title. It has been a wonderful experience already....biggest challenge is the language barrier. I am sure my EspaÑol will be proficient upon my return. Well, we fly to the jungle tomorrow....so it will be a few days before you hear from us as Brian said...but we will be in touch. We have to take a pocket knife to the jungle....hhmmm, wonder what that is for!? It will definitely be the Kansas version of Survivor for the next couple of days! Love to all, especially Mikayla and Catie!!! Les
