Welcome to Blue Grass Airport

We've made it on the first leg of our journey! This morning we flew all the way from the Cinci airport to...Lexington. Now we're on a bit of a layover, waiting to fly to Atlanta for another layover. Woo. One good thing about this though is that BGA has free wireless internet. Blogin' time!

Last night was a fun one. I haven't pulled an all-nighter in a long time. We were up packing until 4:30am, laid down for a catnap, and were back up at 6am. We made it to the airport on time (thanks Mom!) and wizzed through security. In case you happened to be interested, my metal plate did not set the metal detector off. Hopefully this means I won't get stuck in Bolivia on the way back!

So sitting here, killing time on the computer, is making us think about how to pass time...during layovers for now, but during life in the near future. The pace of life is a bit slower down in SA. A friend of ours told us that she read over 70 books while she was in the Peace Corps in Ecuador. We'll just have more time on our hands!

For now, I'm working on this post and trying to learn how to use the iPod. Soon though, the computer will not be an easy thing to use all day, as electricity may not be in constant supply. What?!? Life without 24/7 internet?!? Unheard of!

There will be mountains to climb, people to meet, languages to learn, food to eat, markets to explore...just to mention a few. This is going to be a change in pace, but hopefully for the better and for the more enjoyable!

If all goes well, we will arrive in Quito tonight around 9:30pm. A friend of a friend is picking us up and taking us to our new temporary home. More on that soon!
