I hope with all my heart we are on the road by the time you read this. Corina and Florian’s van seems to be running properly so we are planning on driving down the coast a couple of days before we go back up into the mountains. I am ready to see the Cordillera Blanca - the White Mountains. A few last beach pictures of a place we greatly enjoyed -and overstayed.
Our neighbors tried whale watching and indeed we did see a picture, albeit rather fuzzy of a whale breaching on the distant horizon. Apparently it’s the migration season.
I got a picture of a sailboat which on seemed to be a sailing fishing boat on closer inspection. Winds and currents are all wrong for most travelers by sail to come down the coast of South America.
Monday was Independence Day and a few dozen Peruvians spent the long weekend on our vast empty beach. We two swam alone in the refreshingly cool waters.
There is a dog out there enjoying himself tail up:
I spotted strange arabesques in the sand after the tide ran out:
Florian brought his GoPro to the beach and I had a look at this marvelous new technology that will not be replacing my Panasonic cameras.
Our spot was lovely, steps from the sand and the salt water.
I shall miss it.
