Bienvenido al Perú

It's day three in Arequipa and the Bishops are adjusting to a new home for the next five weeks. The flight here was relatively easy for taking the redeye with three small kids. They all slept most of the way to Lima, although Chloe and Jackson were enthraled for a while with the personal entertainment systems (new 767...pretty sweet plane). When we got to Arequipa, the Styrons and the Williams' took us over to our house, which was a nice score on their part. We have a great view of the city out the back windows. The place kind of looks like a swingin' pad from the 70's, but hey, we're party people.

The one sucky thing is that the internet service still is not hooked up. Yesterday I felt like one of my arms was chopped off, needing to do some stuff for work and no way to contact anyone. I'm working this morning in a little cafe down the street from our house that has wifi (and good espresso as well). Hopefully we'll get service today, but I'm not holding my breath.

The kids seem to be making the transition pretty smoothly. I think all of us are detoxing from how busy the last month has been. Amber took the older two to the grocery store yesterday with Chenoah and they seemed to like that. Hudson seems satisfied at the moment to play bazooka with the vacuum cleaner hose. We're all a little tired and a little grouchy, but that should change soon.

Well...I have to get some work done now. Greetings to all our friends who read this blog. I'll post some more photos soon and maybe a video or two.
