Mary's neighbor, Jaime, sent his driver to pick me up at the airport.  The flight was exactly on time and my bags were some of the first to come off the flight.  Olger and Salomon met me in the lobby of the apartment building and helped me to get the bags up the elevator and into the apartment....and we were off to the hospital!  It was WONDERFUL having Olger deliver me safely to Clinica Delgado!  Once there Paola came out from the operating room to tell me that Mary was doing great and both babies were well.  Jack (the larger baby) had respiratory problems and had been wisked away just after birth.  But Paola and Mary had been able to see Galileo!  And while the twins were small they were strong and healthy!  Later after we were all back in Mary's room, we all agreed that Mary had been quite lucky that neither Alberto nor I had been able to get to Peru in time to be the one and only person who could accompany Mary into the delivery room.  Neither Alberto nor I would have done the absolutely wonderful job that Paola did in taking photos and being with Mary.  Her photos were amazing!  It was the next best thing to having actually have been there myself!  Paola and Olger are wonderful!

Jack had already been wisked away because of his respiratory problems, so I know the below baby is Galileo:
