We have arrived

Well, it finally happened. I have arrrived in Pulcallpa, Peru. We got to Lima yesterday really late. I left early yesterday morning to the airport and then took a short flight over to Atlanta. Unfortunately, I had a 5 hour layover there, so it was quite boring. I slept a lot. I met up with a few of the people there so that was nice. When we arrived in Lima we waited a long time for our luggage. I was beginning to lose hope. Luckily, it all arrived for everyone. We ended up leaving the airport around 1 am local time and got to our hostel around 130. the hostel was fairly nice. all 5 of us slept in one room with like 6 beds. the bathrooms weren´t too great, but the showers were so nice and hot. i even had to turn on the cold water to cool them down. i didn´t sleep too well that night. it was really cool and humid. so it was like sleeping outside with dew on you when it´s cold. not really the best of experiences, but i survived. we woke up the next morning and left to go and eat some breakfast. we went to this little restaurant and had rice, beans, platanos, and tea. it was good. we then boarded our flight. it was so awesome flying over the Andes mountains! that was definitely a great view. when we arrived in pucallpa, ansley and carly were already there to meet us. So we loaded up the truck and headed out to the camp. well, i have to leave the cafe now. i will continue with my story later!!
