The Peru folks (Shawna, Rachel Brim, Julie Celebi, Alisan Fathalizadeh, Erik Hemingway, Paul Johnson, Emily Jackson, and Steve Moyo) have arrived safe and sound and jumped right into the culture and excitement. A little bit on our time in Lima--
Celebrated Shawna's birthday and she was spontaneously serenaded by a local musician...
This was a fantastic nosedive into Peruvian culture, and we are so energized to begin our work here. More to come on our initial introduction to the FIMRC program --
¡Hasta pronto!
We arrived in Lima late on Saturday night and stayed in a hostel. We were fortunate to have the day to explore the city, and had an amazing full day together. We walked more than any of us have walked in a really long time- we got a great view of the coastline... 
tried some Indian-Peruvian fusion cuisine at an all-vegetarian restaurant, including, much to our surpise, tofu ceviche..
