Trujillo

Here we are in a city we did not intend to come to. We stayed last night in a small tourist town called Huanchaco. It is touristy because it is known for its emphasis on surfing. I did not surf though I am aching to. To surf here requires wet suits and I do not want to rent boards and wetsuits. Better to wait for Ecuador where one is only required to rent a board.

Huanchaco was nice while we were there. We walked along the water front, went for breakfast, laid on the beach, and went for dinner. Later we found an amazing bakery with yummy pastries and cakes. We decided to stop for a birthday treat as we were on a bus and having a slightly intense argument for her actual birth day. We had key lime pie and as Ashley described it just now "a pastry with a peach kerplunked on top." I could have had one of everything they were selling.

Today we focused on how to get to Guyaquil, Ecuador's second largest city. We bought bus tickets but we do not leave until tomorrow at 11:45pm. It seems that the bus company we use and trust does not have the same foothold in Ecuador as it does in Peru. We will have to do some research on which company is best to use now. For today we will check out Trujillo, relax, and enjoy the sunshine.

Breakfast is served, over and out!
