On the road...

The picture at the top is where we stayed our first night, in Lima. Me, Chris Puckett, and Robert Hope were roommates, but we didn't have a room. Around 1:00am, it all got straightened out and we each ended up with separate rooms. Not much sleep that first night. It was absolutely the hardest mattress ever.
The center left pic is the view headed out of Lima toward Pisco, and the center right pic is the street in front of the hotel.
The pic below those was a typical view of homes on a hill outside Lima, and pretty much all the way to Pisco, which was over a three hour (terrifying) bus trip. Most of those homes are small, concrete shells, averaging around 600 square feet.
The bottom pic is the Pacific Ocean from the Pan American Highway. Even though we were on the Pacific Coast of Peru, they are actually on Georgia time, but since they don't do Daylight Savings Time, they were on the same time as Alabama.
As we got closer to Pisco we realized that it was more of a desert region. I had expected a jungle I guess. There were sand dunes to the east as far as you could see. Everything was the color of the beach in the bottom pic.
