First Day in Trujillo
It has been a long day to get here. We spent about 26 hour traveling. We left Phoenix on Thursday morning at six thirty a.m. and arrive in Trujillo around eight a.m. Phoenix time Friday. Our total flight time from Phoenix to Lima was about 8 hours. Then another 8 hours by bus. We lost two hours and then with layovers and waiting for another group to come.....wow what a trip What an experience already. It is already very evident that we should all be very thankfully for everything that we have. The Peruvians have very little in this area and really make the most of everything. We had some lunch at a local restaurant and then went to the ancient mud city of Chan Chan.
The picture to the left is of one of the many altars within the Temple walls. The Chimu believe in human sacrafice. I hope you had a chance to read a little about it! The native Chimu have an interesting story to tell. One more day to acclimate and then the work in the barrio begins.
Until then....God Bless!!!!!!
