Hi Everyone

As we had no real idea of when we would be allowed to fly into Peruvian air space and one of my objectives was to visit Katia Hichinose in Lima, I caught a commercial flight to Lima last night. Katia Hichinose was a lions exchange student with us in ’97 and returned for a summer in ’02. This will allow me to spend time with our Peruvian daughter and meet Barb and Lorne in Pisco south of Lima.

The result being less time on the ground for CFIGT and if we drop the planned stop in Lima we should make Chile with fewer airport stops. One does gain an appreciation for the FBO turn around times we are accustomed to.

Archeological dig dating to the pre Inca period, ~ 1300 AD or during the Ichmay cultural period, one block from the Hichinose house in suburban Lima.

flowers in front of Guayaquil airport

Taken outside of the Guayaquil airport, just to remind those of us from Sask. there are flowers in December.

I think we all fell asleep crossing the Equator, so no pictures of 0 degrees latitude ( Note- we are not all sleeping at the same time!!!!!)
