I hopped on board a 3.00 from Minneapolis-St. Paul that went well until we hit ¨weather¨ in the form of turbulance and a thunder-lightning storm, but after flying around for an extra hour the pilot did havea successful landing thru the fog. Thank you Captain Eric or Aaron.
So then I got onto a 11.30 flight from New York JFK airport to Lima. I sat by a friendly older man named Fernando, who had also come from MN and was returning to one of his homes (¿? we were speaking mostly in Spanish, so I´m not positive, but he´s originally from Lima). Very friendly, talkative, it was great to practice my Spanish and discuss some of Peru with him.
The plane had a great ¨entertainment¨ system, where you could pick (on the screen in front of you, the back of a seat) a movie or show you want to watch yourself, from a list of 60 or so. Fernando found How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days and waited until I found it and insisted I watch it too (it´s a favorite, but I´ve seen it a dozen times already), so we pressed play at the same time and by the end I was dying for sleep but he kept laughing loudly and asking me who I thought would win. What a night. :-)
Anyway, arrived safe and sound to Peru (a balmy 66 degrees at only 7.00am) and bused all the way to Nazca. More on that adventure later.
