South of Lima, the Oasis Beckons

Here we are, south of Lima and its hot as hell and the desert prevails as always. Following my decision to stay another week in Peru, we made our way south on the Panamerican down to Runta Rocas, one of the only known right point breaks in the whole country. We were thirsty for the ocean after a week in rain-soaked, emergency status Cusco and I for one couldnt wait to surf frontside for a change.

Getting to Punta Rocas by expensive taxi, we found a less-than appealing beach stretch with cheap dirty restaurants parked at a reef break that looked mushy and formless. The ¨surf hostal¨we were looking to stay at was booked so we ended up at a hole in the wall place about a mile away. Surfing the break was just as it looked, not the epic right I was anticipating, and getting more and more crowded. We decided to take a look around the corner at Punta Hermosa, a large cove that came highly recommended for surf and what a surprise! Lo and behold our old friend ZOMBIE DOLPHIN from Pacasmayo was there to greet us with the most righteous stench imaginable. He was hanging with his friends ZOMBIE PELICAN and ZOMBIE UNIDENTIFIABLE SEABIRD, a veritable dead animal fiesta right on the top of the point. Not much surf to be had on the other side so we retired for the day and got ready to head to Playa de Asia to check out my friend Felipe´s brothers band, Emergency Blanket, play at an outdoor bar.

Matt and Paul’s travels: Lima, Peru: 6-7th February 2010

Yesterday we left Ecuador to fly to Lima, the capital of Peru. Lima is a huge city of over 9 million people; it’s based on the coast, so has lots of beaches, and is hot and bustly. We’re staying in the Miraflores district, which has lots of nice bars and restaurants.

Today we went to the central area of the city, a couple of kilometers away, starting off in the Plaza del Armes, which is home to the cathedral and President’s Palace.

Rain RAIN rain…… Feb …

Tuesday was a little stressful because we had to get some things ready to send a package weekly to Lima. I had to prepare like a little training to help the missionaries and then get everything ready for the interviews.

Wednesday we traveled for 2 and a half hours to go to Tarapoto. It was a long trip. We had the interviews and as the privileged zone leaders president took us to lunch, he took us to the hotel where they were staying and I ate a beefsteak al pobre. Or beefsteak to the poor. It was a big plate and it was really good. It was a steak and eggs and rice and fried banana and a salad. It was not that poor. We then had to travel another 2 hours and a half back to the house. By this time we were really tired and it was raining. We did a little bit of tracting. But it was a little hard working in the rain.

Today in Brookville, Ohio

I think most people like airplanes. I know the first one I saw was 73 years ago when I was about two years old. My mom and dad were working in the vegetable garden and they stopped working when they heard the airplane motor noise. Something very unusual for those times. And they yelled, “Look Abe, there’s an airplane!” And I looked and sure enough there was this bi-plane flying over and very low. I remember that I did try to reach up with both hands and catch it but couldn’t reach it and began to cry and scream and they said I had a fit and bawled and jumped around in some newly planted tomato plants. I guess I got tired and gave up but never got the airplane. This one, and many other beauties await anybody who has the time and wants to drive a short distance and see the whole museum, filled with airplanes and a lot more.

Bus2Antarctica Video: Lima on Wheels | TravelDealsReview.net …

Andrew Evans offers a glimpse of skateboarding culture in Lima, Peru. As I was wandering Peru’s capital city, I found myself drawn to Miguel Grau Park in the neighborhood of Miraflores. The view of the Pacific Ocean from the top of such high cliffs is simply enchanting–and what did I find on the other side? An open-access skate park that was busy with some serious skateboarding and freestyle biking. Maybe it’s because I’m traveling to Antarctica primarily on wheels, but I had to stop and catch the some of the ramp and half-pipe action. Skateboarding culture is fairly universal but the way country and city governments react to it varies widely. I was impressed that Lima offered such a quality park for free and even more impressed by some of Peru’s professional skateboarders who were there giving free lessons to novices. I snatched this quick video so that you skaters out there know what you’re up against in Lima. Andrew is back on the bus and traveling through Argentina.
