Went to the airport to pick up Karina and Jeff. Decided to ride the bus there (always an adventure) and made it there with time to spare. Met by Big Smiles and colorful backpacks we set off towards the hotel we were going to stay in. Opting for the taxi, (only $7.50 :) this time was an equally adventurous choice, with a mid-way taxi switch. Once settled in at the hotel I showed the fam around Mira flores (town next to Lima) a little before Karina and Jeff took flight. A steep cliff separates Mira Flores from the ocean and it makes for a perfect take off for Paragliders. Well it took about 2 minutes of watching them before Jeff decided to go for a flight. And Karina wanted to go to. I chose to stay on the ground and be the photographer :) Mira Flores is also having a cow parade for the next couple of months, something to do with the dairy farms. So all of the parks are littered with these decorative cows. After flying we enjoyed some delicious dinner and decided to turn in to get some sleep before our 4 am flight. The next 48 hours had the consistency of a 7 day vacation bottled up into into a short time frame to fit Karinas school schedule. It was intensely fun. I was still trying to catch up on sleep so the next morning I caught some Zzz. on the plane, but Uncle Jeff did wake me up to see these mountains peaking out of the clouds. I've never seen such jagged mountains. I will return.
Post flight, huge smiles
