to floating down rivers in the Amazon to driving Dune buggies in Baños and most importantly.....watching male Humpback whales try and impress the ladies with their jumping and spraying!!! It can´t all be summed up in a blog entry but it´s been all amazing. We´ve been able to do some couchsurfing (staying at peoples´house for free) in some of the cities which has been great. Last week we checked out some pyramids and ruins in Trujillo. We also attempted surfing! First time for both Enda and myself. Nice waves, nice instructer, and beautiful sunset.
The picture below is dedicated to my brother Kyle. I´m going to bring one of these home for you. They are officially called....wait for it.... A Hairless Peruvian Dog (Creative, I know). This one is a mix breed therefore it has a mohawk on it´s head. Cute eh? This dog has higher body temperature than most therefore it is good for a snuggle before bed as well as people who suffer from arthritis.
One of the main highlights has been what we just finished this past week. We were in Huaraz, Peru this past week in the Andes. Ahhhh...the Andes. We did some mountain biking for a day which was gorgeous. We ended up going on the Santa Cruz 4 day trek which was amazing. The group ended up being a little larger than we thought due to the bus strike, but the people in the group were amazing. It was good to be in the mountains with beautiful Southern Hemisphere Stars and donkeys to help along the way. A lot of Yanniv (Isreali card game) was played and a lot of good food was ate.
I´ll add pics to my flickr soon so check it out if you´re bored.
After the Trek we headed to the rocks for some climbing...ahhh...real rock face. It was our first time climbing outside. Amazing.... So much fun. Such a mental sport. And now.... well now we are in the great city of Lima. Just for a day and then we are off to Nazca-Ica area for some sandboarding and hopefully Paragliding. Good times. Time is flying by.
