After a six hour flight we finally arrived in Lima. The six of us went though immagration and after picking up our lugage went though customs. Once though Customs an AFS lady named Lucía was there to pick us up. Again based on our size we all fit into a small van without much extra room. Unfortunately, as we soon found out, all the other AFS'ers going to Peru had arrived a lot earlier, so we did not get to see any of them. The six of us stayed in a seperate church. We arrived a little after 9:40 at night there time, but after driving to the church, getting our rooms, hearing the rules, waiting for our food to be delivered, and eating our food, we only got to bed at around 1:00 in the morning. There were two of us going to Trujillo, one going to Cajamarca, another to Chimbote, another staying in Lima and me, in Huancayo.
We had breakfast at 8:30 (way too little sleep for me), and then afterwards, we took our luggage to the orientation room. We had a small orientation and got awesome llama shirts, and then once again piled into the van after a coffee break. We drove to the bus station where four of us got off. Three of us were taking a bus, and one was staying in Lima. The other two kids who stayed in the van were going to Trujillo and were leaving from a different bus station. At the station we were finally able to meet a few other AFS'ers from different countries. Except for one who was staying in Lima, they were all going to Huancayo with me. The rest, who were going to Chimbote and Cajamarca were going to arrive later. There were two from Germany and three from Belgium who spoke Flemish (an awesome language by the way). We had about 40 minutes to wait until the Huancayo bus left, during which the two girls staying in Lima were picked up by their families. After they left, the rest of us just talked and got to know eachother better.

Our bus finally came and it was pretty cool. It was one of those two story buses. I have never been on one before, so i was pretty excited even though we were only on the first story. The seats were really comfortable, and it was quite enjoyable with all the scenery. It was eight hours of beautiful (with a complimentary meal). I got tons of pictures on the way. I just could not sleep. I was too anxious for Huancayo.
