Sunday

First full day in Lima was eventful! We got to sleep in a little after our late night. After our complimentary hotel breakfast we had an orientation meeting. We had a chance to explore the city and experience some of the culture. We visited one of their markets where we learned that people buy their food fresh every day. After the marketplace we headed out to setup the clinic. Everyone in the neighborhood was really excited to see us arrive. 

During one of our fundraisers we had to run over to Walmart to get more supplies. Upon leaving Walmart we were stopped by a women selling homemade crosses. She found out what we were going to be doing and gave us a cross for free to give to someone in Peru. Today we decided that cross should go to Pat, one of the missionaries that runs the clinic in Peru. She placed the cross on the altar. 

After the clinic was setup we headed back to our hotel for dinner. Our cook for this trip is AMAZING! We are eating some of the best authentic Peruvian food. 

We were able to squeeze in some evening site seeing as well! We got to watch part of a sunset on the beach and then headed over to a fountain park, Circuito Magico del Agua. 

It was a relaxing day full of fun and exploration. We are excited to get to work tomorrow!
