It is like coming home. Middle of the night and Lima´s airport is all a buzz! It seems like yesterday I was here spending the night again. I, however, am learning as I go. I found a quiet place with other over nighters that is a MUCH better option than where I had been bunking when sleeping here before so I am about to go and claim a spot and take a nap until my flight tomorrow morning to Quito!!
My flight was good. I barely made the connection after being 2 hours delayed in JAckson and by the grace of God, my backpack made it! I could not believe it. So, it was an uneventful flight. . . other than my nice, but VERY chatty seatmate. He is from Lima, but lives in Seattle. I could tell you his life story, but I won´t . . . :) Suffice it to say that he asked me out while I was in Lima, but I politely declined and explained that I would not be spending any time here. He is on my flight going back to Atlanta the night of the 9th/morning of the 10th so I am sure I will see him again! I do attract the most friendly strangers of anyone I know!
For those of you who are saying, "how many times do we tell her NOT to talk to strangers!" Be pleased to know that I am getting better. . . I did not tell him that I was spending the night in the airport, for I am sure that would have been followed by an invitation to go home and meet mom and stay at their home. And I did not tell him I was totally alone. I said I was meeting someone in the airport, etc. etc. So, I was friendly, but smart. :)
I am excited to get to Quito tomorrow (Saturday) and then on to the Galapogas Islands on Sunday!!
