Greetings from Paracas
We are in what seems like a shanty town in the desert. It´s right on the ocean with about 100 people living here. We plan to go to ¨poor mans galapogos¨ tomorrow and dodge the flying pooh pigeons! Really tho it is supposed to be beautiful and worth it...
We received our battery from our partying friend in Cuzco, so we have a live camera for the trip tomorrow...bonus! We arrived back in Lima for Saturday and spent the day with some friends in the market. Sunday was an all day affair of eating with some more new friends! We decided since Trevor got delayed with paperwork, we would take this week to veg out and catch up on some sleep. He is hoping to be ready to go north with us early next week where we will trek through the Andes. Trevor has put over 75000 miles on his feet trekking thru the Andes in the last 26 years! So he knows his way around!
THe Peruvians are interesting people...on top of a maze of roads filled with crazy drivers, no schedules for anything, garbage everywhere, polluted waters, they seem to show a genuine zest for life! We are constantly amazed at how patient they are with us being so new at spanish. Our taxi rides are most interesting!! There are of course the peruivans who are out to take gringos for everyhing they can...and we are honed into them! Thank goodness for Andrew...I can´t imagine being here by myself!
So we´re planning to hang out here for a few days...we found an oasis of a hotel...it´s beautiful and we find ourselves needing some serious relaxation this week...so we´re going to!!!
Hope this finds you all well
Andrew and Katrina
