Canada eh?

The team from Canada has arrived. I went to Lima with Fred, Rita, and to go pick them up. We left on Tuesday night by way of bus and arrived in Lima the next morning with a day to kill. We went and got a hotel room to set up a base camp for the day. Fred and I roamed the streets of Lima scoping out where to buy food for the bus trip back and running some other areas while Rita and Meg relaxed in the hotel room. My errands included picking up some printer toner for Jose Luis and bringing one of his internet antennas to a repair shop. Then I had an errand of my own, I went and bought a wetsuit. I can now surf pretty much whenever I want and don't have to wait for a sunny day to do it. I went and tested it out yesterday morning and it worked very well (I got my sandals stolen...I have an excellent plan to get back at these little kids that I'll share with you afterwards if it all works out). I decided to buy a higher quality one because I figured that it is something I can use for a very long time not only surfing but scuba diving and other water sports as well.

So after the errands were done, Fred and I went and bought a whole bunch of food for the team's bus ride back. So then we waited. We had to go to the Airport at 10:30 pm because Meg was leaving and Rita's friend Heather was arriving. Then we had another person arriving at 5:00am so we just waited in the airport, hanging out on really uncomfortable chairs. The team got in about 7:30 then ate breakfast at the airport and we were on our way out of Lima at 9:30.

We arrived in Pacasmayo at 7:00 and had a big dinner with all the kids and the team together. Last night there was a really great concert put on by a band that came with us from Lima. they played traditional Wino music that pretty much ruled.

I woke up this morning with the news that we had been robbed. Someone knocked out window in the tool shed and stole Fred's welder. He was pretty pissed, I know how he feels considering I've been robbed the last two times I've been surfing. The team put on a spa day this morning and in the midst of that I found out that the school is out of water which is bad because that means the orphanage will be out of drinking water. There is a businessmen meeting later today in about an hour.

That's all I know for now.
