It is almost midnight and I am about to go to bed. Please forgive the typos I have not got the knack of this foreign keyboard. I’ve been up for almost 48 hours and feel I have been gone for a week already. My plane left lax on time and go to Costa Rica. In Costa Rica I ended up sitting next to someone that was from lima and we hit it off...his name is Cesar and is an attorney for the Peruvian government.... he is 34 years old. So...as luck would have it that is where I am staying...I’m on the 10th floor of a high rise in Mira Flores district overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We went out for a late lunch and then took a walk along the beach and then had a late dinner. So I have free lodging and transportation this week plus companionship!! Isn’t this awesome. Tomorrow he is taking me on the tour of the city and then going to a club for some salsa and merengue dancing. So far this trip has started off great...though there was a riot near cusco today and 10 people died. It is hard to believe I am finally South America!!! The weather is warm and I can hardly wait to get some sleep.
