But I am le tired...

I arrived in Lima last night at 2 am local time. On the plane I met a couple of guys that are going to ride across Peru on horseback. Frank must have been 70 and I'm pretty sure he was wasted. He kept calling me Bryan and told me I looked like a character actor from the original 12 Angry Men except, you know, much younger (he bought me a beer so I didn't mind). His friend was 27 and told me he had to beg Frank to bring a sleeping bag. We talked about traveling (Frank talked about drinking). Luckily the plane was practically empty so I got to stretch out a bit. The ride back from the airport was pretty uneventful. Lima looks a lot like a big city. There is a bit more contrast here though; I saw a lot of brand new buildings next to ones that have been abandoned. The city is huge, it's sprawling. Kirk's apartment is in a great neighborhood. The architecture is a mixture of classic and modern and the effect is actually quite stunning. It is a small apartment but very nice. We went to the office today and I had trouble focusing on anything because of the exhaustion. I should be meeting with the director tomorrow and should know what I'll be doing by Monday. Well I should know which study I'm working on by then, I may never know what I'm doing.
