Not Much Happens. Lima Peru

Well it seems I've spent more time in Lima than anticipated. I arrived the 23rd of October and even got to fly that first day. Costa Verde is a basic costal soaring site with consistant weather but the addition of city buildings to use for dynamic life. A comfortable life here as well as my friend Ryan have made it easy for time to pass while not much happens, with the flying or with my motivation. Ryan, who I met in Durango in 98 is one of those people I've had a good relationship with and stayed in touch with, even if it's only once every year or two, because I knew if we were ever in the same place again the friendship would pick where it left off; and it has. I broke up my time here with a trip to the moutains to try and get in some big flights. My original intent was to spend the bulk of my time in the Peruvian Andes. However a week and a half in between the Cordillera Negra and Cordillera Blanca yielded only 2 ten minute flights, it was either rainy or high pressure and the one good looking day I wasn't able to utilize. Amazing country as you can see from a 3 day treking trip; I know I will return here again. During my trip to the mountains Ryan decided to learn paragliding here in Lima and it's been cool to see his quick progress. We made a short trip to a costal site south of Lima, here Ryan met a slight accident and I got a cold. All's well and now I'm off to Iquique Chile to get serious about the flying business of this trip. With that said here are some pictures- http://www.flickr.com/photos/bradismyfriend/
