Back to Lima

Not much to report here. We spent a pretty low key day wandering around Puno, stopping at random shops to look at knick-knacks. By 3:00, we are completely done and head for the airport, even though our flight isn’t scheduled to depart until almost 8:00. There is an earlier flight, but we choose to skip it as it stops in Arequipa first, so doesn’t arrive much before we would anyways. As a storm blows through around 7:00, taking all but the emergency power out at the airport, this seems like a very, very bad decision (sleeping on the floor of a tiny airport in Peru is a little gritty even for me). All works out in the end though, and with a delay of only 45 minutes or so, we land in Lima.

Tomorrow we have a special treat for Mom, and then move down the coast to Paracas for a few days.
