Bus Ride Between Lima and Ica

We’ve finally arrived to Ica, Peru, our first destination for the next two weeks. We checked into our hotel last night after midnight and we caught our bus around 10:30 this morning for Ica. The change in temperature has been a little rough, especially since we came wearing winter clothes. In New Jersey it was 14 degrees, in Lima it was 75 and humid. It was definitely uncomfortable last night, and even today with our “summer” clothes. We had a 5 hour bus ride which was sweaty and uncomfortable, but now we’re here resting. Our hostel is nice. I have a room to myself (for now) and Will is sharing with 7 other people from the mission. We need to buy some things for our room, mainly shampoo, soap and a towel since we haven’t been able to take a shower in awhile. We’re going downtown tonight with people from the mission, so we get to change our currency into soles, and go to an internet café, and eat! We haven’t eaten since last night around 9 pm, and it’s now around 5pm (Peru is on Eastcoast time by the way). Anyways, here are some of Will’s pictures from our bus ride to Ica.
