Journal Pages: Arrival in Lima
“technically the ninth of january when we arrived in lima, though it felt like a long night of the eighth; after one in the morning when we got through customs at last. nelson was there at the airport with a driver, and we were whisked off into the streets of lima. through the quiet and dark streets of callao toward the neon casinos and thoroughfares of lima. past the golf course and hotel with dolphins to the doors of the parroquia santa maria reina on the óvalo gutierrez in san isidro/miraflores. up the elevator with uncle nelson and then straight to bed, so happy to be there at last.”
