Day 1 Flying to Peru

Uneventful, interpret as long, flight to Lima.  Actually 9 hours.  Not nearly as brutal as when we have flown to Asia.  Arrived at Lima airport at midnight, our flight to Iquitos leaves at 5AM. So….sitting in the food court, waiting.  A smaller group then usual, 12 kids and 6 adults.  Usually we have 30+ kids and around 10 adults.  Higher airfare has reduced the numbers.

We are working with People of Peru Project Paul Opp, the Founder and Director has lived here for years and has a solid, sustained outreach both in the jungle as well in the city of Iquitos.  Gloria joined Rio Lindo six years ago on a very similar outreach.  The main focus of the trip is digging fresh water wells.  We also rotate the kids through the dental clinic to give them a break from digging the wells!
