Other exciting news is that this morning Joanne Nicolson arrived from Scotland! She is a new volunteer at San Andres and will be in Lima till July. She is staying here with the Arevalos for the first week, and it's so nice to have a companion! Even though she'd been travelling overnight, she felt fine for seeing a little bit of the Magdalena district this afternoon. We wandered through a few streets lined with pokey shops piled high with a few things you might want to buy and quite a lot of stuff that might also be called 'junk'. haha :-) And we bought a very prickly pineapple to eat tonight with our chorizo sausages and ciabatta rolls - what a feast!

Ticket Booked for Moyobamba!
The exciting news is that I now have a booked flight to Tarapoto for the 13th of February. From there, it's only a couple of hours to Moyobamba. My original plan was to go on the bus (a mere 26 hour journey), but due to the rainy season in the mountains/jungle, I was advised to fly instead. I have a one-way ticket, as I might return to Lima in June on the bus.

I am SO glad for you that you won't have to go through a 26-hour bus ride in the jungly mountains and find out for yourself why flying would be most lovely indeed! It sure would be interesting though ;-) - an unforgettable experience (though as it is, I'm sure your experience will be unforgettable!)
