Hi everyone...

Our entry to Peru landed us in Mancora for a few days. Sun, surf, sand, and partying. Ubiquitous dust makes it not the most beautiful place, although it’s definitely on the itinerary of most travelers. There’s good- albeit crowded- surf, and plenty of options for eating and drinking.

We enjoyed our introduction to coastal Peruvian food, there are significantly more options than most of the Ecuadorian fare we tried. Meals usually begin with a small plate of ceviche. Next follows usually some form of seafood, chicken, or meat with vegetables and rice. The accompanying juice has continued to be excellent.

We enjoyed the atmosphere in Mancora for a few days but were soon ready to keep moving south. We are currently in Huanchaco, just north of Trujillo. More stories and photos will be up soon- we’ve been battling a few stomach troubles recently, keeping us inside more than we like. Soon to come though: pre-Incan ruins, huge mountains, and Lima for New Years!
