We've Finally Made it to Paita

It's been a long day and it's only 1pm on Sunday afternoon. Our last blog was 12 hours ago. It seemed like days ago. We had over seven hours at the airport. Once we deplaned, we had to go through immigration, customs and wait around until our last flight to Piura. Five of us took Avianca. Oh, what a nice airlines. The airplane we were in reminded us of the old Midwest Express with those large leather seats and excellent service. We were glad to experience a new airline company.

We left Lima at 5:40am this morning and deplaned in Paita around 7:30. It was in the low 70's and is to get up to the 80's today.

We sat with the sister and talked with them about our clinic and nutrition classes. Because the travelers were so tired, everyone decided to take a nap before the 7pm Mass this evening. Four people checked in at the local hotel (Nancy, Catherine, Miranda, Charlie) and two people are staying with the sisters (Deb and Ellen).

Here are a few pictures of our travels today.
