Welcome to the Pacific

I'm sorry... this picture was downright rude to those of you in the Midwest...

Isa has "crashed" for the third (and hopefully final) time today, so I have the opportunity to get some of the days events, thoughts and emotions down.

We got to the hotel about 8 hours before check in (give or take a few minutes) and they kindly fed us breakfast and gave us a temporary room for a few extra bucks. Before we even arrived we had said we would pay an extra night just to get in a room immediately, so this was a huge blessing.

After waking up we walked around town, found a little sandwich place for lunch (not Panera or Jimmy Johns) and enjoyed a stroll through the park where local artists were selling their paintings.

We've been a little detached today from the reason for our trip, but tomorrow that will all change. At 9 am we have a meeting with SNA (Peruvian DCFS) and our lawyer to make sure all is ready for us to travel.

On Tuesday we take the 8 hour bus trip into the Andes (where the highs are in the 40's and rain everyday, if that makes you feel better) to meet our new daughter...

We could use your prayers. The closer we get the more bipolar the emotions begin to feel. Maybe that's why this whole trip is feeling like a vacation.

Of course, this helps too...
