Having Arrived

This is far from an official post. Just a quick note to note that I have arrived. Day 1 as smooth as can be imagined, complete with prompt takeoff and connection in Lima. House full of sweet young volunteers from England, Australia, Holland, Baltimore and NYC ... and some new ones arriving next week. Met them all over a farewell dinner at a Mexican (!) restaurant in town since the Dutch ones are leaving Tuesday. Tomorrow morning a bunch of us are heading to market. Then Monday my official new routine begins: Spanish lessons by morning, teaching English to Peruvian children by afternoon. Buenos noches for now.
