Trip Report Numero Cinco

The rest of the trip was kind of a winding-down for all of us. We spent one last night in Cusco, then flew out early the next morning for Lima. We left Steph and Mike in the airport, then got a taxi for our hotel in Miraflores. It was nice to have the day in Lima to relax and explore, and that's pretty much all we did. We had a great dinner and went out for drinks, then went back to the hotel.

The next morning was still pretty calm, just packing and getting ready to head out. Then we had to ride in a taxi-van back to the airport. IT WAS THE SCARIEST TRANSPORTATION EXPERIENCE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! Our driver and the traffic were INSANE! I saw a car hit another car, then they both kept driving! Then we almost hit a bus head on! That was when I screamed "I hate this fucking city!" and promptly burst into tears! I swear I almost asked the driver to pull over so I could puke. When we got to the airport, I wanted to kiss the ground. I've never been so happy to get OUT of a car in my life. Wow. Okay, deep breath. Whew.

Anyways, we flew out of Lima to San Salvador, El Salvador to Miami, then spent the night in the Miami airport. I passed out, and apparently Jes and Sarah took compromising pictures of my ass with a small stuffed llama... I have yet to see those pictures, ladies. When we got to O'Hare, Mom and Dad were waiting for us in the airport, and we got our bags and said our goodbyes. The trip ended on a light note, and we all counted our blessings that we got each place safe, including home.
