Day One in Lima

Well, we arrived in Lima very late last night (no . . . make that very early this morning) and we have already hit the ground running. After a day filled with meetings, gathering supplies and a late night dinner with a congresswoman - our team is ready for bed. Oh, but not so fast.

Tonight is the first night of the next three that involve an ongoing parade of volunteers arriving in Lima. Ben has already headed to the airport to pick-up three volunteers. I am up next at 4:30 a.m. to retrieve another volunteer. All in all, we have over 20 volunteers arriving on various flights over next next two days.

All of the airport runs culminate very late on Saturday night when we pick up the last volunteer a little after 1 a.m. and head down the Pan-American highway for a 5-hour drive to the city of Ica.

Need-less-to-say, it is going to be really important to get as much sleep as possible between now and when the campaign officially starts on Sunday. This is going to be a great week and I am certain I will have a number of wonderful stories to post on the Blog. Stay tuned.
