Mancora

HOLA amigos!

Ok, so after the long journey we`re back at sea level! Kara´s happy and back to her old self with a pilsen in hand. Peru is definitely a diverse country. We came from beautiful mountains, backed with glacier peaks, waterfalls and roaring rivers...we´ve now arrived to the palm trees and white sand beaches. Mancora is a one street beach town, located in the north of Peru. One can walk the entire town from one end to the next in approx. 15 minutes, maneuvering between about 100 vendors. I bought about 1 bracelet from each, they´re addicting what can I say?

Our hostal is located 20 steps from a sweet point break, long fast left, about waist high (supposed to pick up weds)...... I´m going crazy not being able to surf, but the view is pretty amazing. The sunset is even better! Today we spent the entire day lying on the beach catching some rays and relaxing on the sand. Waters warm, clear and blue, thus we all are thinking of moving and becoming some Peruvian beach bums!

Langosta (lobster) was on tonight´s menu. Delicious, fresh and 30 soles ($10), who could ask for more? Much better than the cow intestines Mandy and I tried in Huaraz. Been exploring this layed back town, playing some cards (I´m 9 and 1 in egyptian war...mooohahaha, Kara has the lone win....shoot!).

Most everyone hear speaks little engligh, therefore we have all been forced to step up and speak the local language. It´s been interesting and funny, but we have managed to get everything we need and get around the country. I definitley have heard some improvement in all of us throughout the last week.

Alright well I´m off for now. Hope everyone is well and you´re enjoying the updates.

ADIOS!!
