We're on our way home, and as you can imagine, leaving what has become our second home and our extended family was quite difficult. It was an early start ... flight changes and all, leaving us very short of time for the Lima change-over.
We arrived, to be greeted by Milka's Lima family, Gladys, Miguel and Sara ... who arrived with a present for Lex. How awesome - it's probably a one hour taxi ride from their place to the airport - and we were so short of time we only had time to say 'hi', 'thanks' and 'goodbye until we return' - but it was good to see them again... really must learn more Spanish for our next trip. The present was a new hat - so I now have his other hat to wear home. Check this out....
we have about 5 hours here ... so might be looking for a power point - on our trip over we only had wifi for a short time. May be different this time.
Last night's darts night was a good farewell to Cusco for us - sharing the time not only with Zac and Milka but also several of their friends. They all make us feel so welcome, and the kilt wearing Scotsman, gave us a short farewell speech on behalf of all ... commenting that of all the expats in the group, Zac was the only one whose parents had visited for such an extended period ... 11 weeks - and he thought that was awesome! They also mentioned that Zac and Milka had fielded several comments at various times about having parents/in-laws living with them for almost 3 months, and both said, 'No problem!' It really wasn't a problem either!
We have lots of adjusting to do when we get home ....
- work for me ... I know that's going to be a challenge.
- not going out so much ... sitting in a bar for a few hours enjoying spectacular scenes, or eating out
- less rice ... maybe
- might have to remove the waste paper bin from the toilet for a while
- and the cost of everything in Oz ... our 2 course dinner with wine and live opera for 4 people cost less then $100, and of course you can eat well for much less than that.
- shopping ... not so many opportunities in Clermont
- and may be lots more
Signing off from South America 25 September 2009.
