Culture Shock
Arrived in Tacna at 5.30am where we were met by Edu. We were so tired at this point we just wanted to get to Arica and SLEEP. BUT the border only opened at 8.30am so we waited and waited and waited for a small yellow school bus (that´s another story for another time LOL) The customs going from Peru to Chile was interesting, a real eye opener for the freedoms we enjoy. The landscape wasn´t at all what any of us were expecting, all desert and very little vegetation. Our feet landed on Chilean soil at 10.30am. The hotel was very welcoming, clean and boy were those beds and pillows the best any of us ever had. After a couple of hours of rest, up we got and went for a walk through town and along the beach. Looking forward to climbing a mountain tomorrow morning and enjoying the local culture. Having some technical difficulties so you will have to be patient to see pictures, hopefully the wait won´t be too long.
Blessings to all of you,
Carrie
