Super Chill-Out Time in Huanchaco, Peru

Feelin' amused
Traveling sometimes can get just downright exhausting. Early bus rides, loud neighbors, and crazy adventures are all part of the fun, but they can wear on you after a while, and that would be about now. Kyle went back home for a week for family fun and excitement, and meanwhile, I'm doing the least bit possible.Feelin' amused
I'm not one that can easily laze around, but Huanchaco, Peru sort of inspires a person to do just that. It's a little fisherman village where the sun rises and sets every day, and that's some of the biggest excitement you'll encounter. Here are some highlights:
cool balsa wood sort of fishing boats are like kayaks
photo prop pony falling asleep on the beach - I watched his eyes and head slowly droop, I think he drooled too
the beach is a pretty nice spot for a run
Without my man by my side I get considerably more attention from the men, but the ignoring technique works pretty well. I was walking on the beach one afternoon when a bold young guy came up to me, and struck up a conversation. He was pretty persistent despite my blowing him off, and after I explained to him all about Kyle he ended up being worth the interruption. I say worth the interruption because he gave me the 2 surefire ways to blow off a Peruvian guy trying to pick you up:
1. tell him you're a lesbian
2. tell him "Tengo la bicicleta", slang for I have diarrea.
Aside from reading Harry Potter, my big excitement has been our two Dutch friends that for the past 2 months have ended up in the same town as us at least 6 times. They're a cooky fun pair that shares my love for playing Rummy, and it's nice to have a couple of other blondes around that also stick out.

They're gonna kill me for putting these on there, but it's payback for pictures the posted of Kyle and me...
Overall, it's been a great spot to chilllllll for a few days and appreciate the small things in life.

My big laugh for the day......a blow off that may work even in the USA......especially if combined.....a lesbian WITH diarrhea. Glad you found some fellow blonds for company in Kyle's absence.
So where are all of the Christmas decorations? ! Nice and wet, warm and wonderful for CHILLIN'..............
So, where's the link to THEIR wacky photos, hmm?
