Bienvenidos a Peru! (Did I spell that right?)

The water bottles are enormous here! And of course, in a daze, I used the tap water to brush my teeth this morning. So I'll know later today just what an effect it has on me.

Flew from Phoenix to Houston to Lima. Quick taxi ride to the Manhatten Inn Hotel. A simple place close to the airport. The thinking was to arrive and get to sleep so we could start today.

The front desk advised against drinking the water, and sold us the colossal 2.5L bottle on the left, which was bigger than the television in the room. The wake up call, which I am sure I successfully negotiated in Spanish, never came, so we're the last people in the breakfast room, which is perfectly fine for Day 1 after a very late arrival.

Breakfast did the trick, OJ, rolls, some huevos and jam (of course made with sugar and not HFCS). Off to freshen up and hit a bike tour...
