Arrival
Twenty-two students stepped into the cool evening air outside Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport an hour and a half ago. The group appeared weary from a long journey, but happy to be here at last and definitely ready to begin a new adventure. They made it through immigration and customs in record time, about an hour, and we boarded the bus for a quiet hostel in Miraflores. Tomorrow we begin the program with a day of orientation here in Peru’s capital. Now it’s time to get some rest.
