An unanticipated, slow start


Well, after storms and a 6 hour wait in OKC, a smokey cheap room in Houston for the evening, a re-route through Central America, and much distress as to the location of our luggage out there in “bag land”…. we arrived to Lima a day and a half late, last night around 11:00. To no surprise, ALL of our luggage is lost. We truly have nothing but the clothes on our back, some Spanish literature, and the company of each other (which has served as a satisfying breath of fresh air amidst the storm). Because we were re-routed to so many different flights, our original reservation has no pertinance and our bags could literally be anywhere. We have filled out a baggage claim report and will get on a Bus to Piura tonight, at least there we have an apartment and a family who wants to help us. Today, in Lima, we will buy some essentials so we don´t stink anymore (deoderant, TOOTHPASTE!, and maybe a new t-shirt.). We have proudly worn the OK flag around the world so far but its beginning to get a little sticky.
We are alive, however, and are receiving more of an adventure than we asked for!
We may never see those lovely backpacks again…
