Yes, they did a great job fixing the camera, we are really pleased with it.<br /><br />You are right, we think most people just take an airport cab when they first arrive because it is the easiest but Kevin always checks this stuff out before getting to our location so that we know what the best and safest way to get to our destination at the most affordable price.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-12761873881348864382019-10-16T08:10:35.153-04:002019-10-16T08:10:35.153-04:00So do we and it is working out very well and our h...So do we and it is working out very well and our host family are friendly and helpful.<br /><br />Thank you Emily, it needed a good cut!

This place is definitely on the cheaper side, our next place is a bit more expensive but then we will also have the apartment to ourselves at our next location.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-31094881917549197762019-10-16T08:04:36.554-04:002019-10-16T08:04:36.554-04:00Yes, it is a nice little bedroom and bathroom.

It is actually becoming endangered do to overtourism and we don't want to add to it. We are looking for places that aren't so well known here in Peru so that we can show people that other beautiful places exist here, plus it is just what we do. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44331208585288864492019-10-16T08:00:44.683-04:002019-10-16T08:00:44.683-04:00It is a nice place and surprisingly enough, even t...It is a nice place and surprisingly enough, even though we are very close to the airport we don't hear the planes.

Yep, they fixed your camera alright! Good work with the airport taxis. They are not used to savvy travelers like you. Most people just pay double because they are tired or in an unfamiliar city.
