Our flight lasted all night.  We had dinner on the plane; watched a movie, slept a little and had breakfast about 7 a.m.   We arrived in Lima and went through immigration; our guide, Mario,    from Exocatta and Condor Travel agency met us.  There was another couple from Canada who rode with us to our hotels.  I had to pay $40 for an early check-in.  Debbie and I took a nap, showered, and got cleaned up before going out.  We went to the exchange and got some local currency, stopped at the pharmacy, and bought some mosquito repellent and sun-block lotion.  We walked a couple of blocks to the beach on the Pacific Ocean.  Thanksgiving in Portuguese means Turkey We had sea bass with potatoes and spinach and an avocado and quinoa salad.  We came back to our hotel and wrote some in my journal, watched some TV, and had prayer before going to bed.
