First week in Peru

Connie and Clair arrived a week ago in Lima.  We are staying in a temporary apartment until our more permanent apartment is cleaned and repainted this week.

When we first arrived from the airport at 1 AM, we found some fresh flowers on the living room coffee table.  We have had a very busy week trying to solve multiple software problems with our computers while fielding frequent emails and phone calls.

We hope this week is less chaotic.  So far, we have not left our neighborhood where we live and work.

Here are the first photos we have taken in Peru.

These flowers greeted us when we arrived in Lima.

This is the street where our permanent apartment is located.  Many streets here have gates to block traffic at night.
