Now this is a bit overdue seeing as how this was in January
we went on vacation to Trujillo! Now Trujillo is a special city for me! Not
only was it the first real place outside of Lima that I visited the first time
around (in study abroad), it was also were I got a hunky boyfriend, Sebastian!
Haha. So of course it has some very fond memories me for. Now why we went
hahahahaha…is the Marinera Festival. Marinera is a traditional Peruvian dance.
Very beautiful to watch because the costumes are so elaborate BUT
We got there and spent the first day in Huanchaco the beach
town about 10 minutes away. Although I don’t particularly like the beach it was
fun to site in the sun and not worry about anything but skin cancer! Anyways we
used day one as a recover and relax day because most of us arrived on overnight
buses. For myself it was an economical bus that hardly reclined but was CHEAP!
We had some good salad’s for lunch! Never in the States would I pay so much for
mainly lettuce but when lettuce isn’t all that easy to find everyday….Gaston
bring me the bill! That night at the hotel we meet a group of Peruvians who
were just hanging out so we joined our two parties! Now that was a fun
night…although was left out of some activities still had a great time staying
up until almost 4 AM!!!!! Haven’t done that in a very very long time! Obviously
we spent the next morning recovering. That day we went to Chile’s Restaurant
and man did I think I had died and gone to food heaven with Chicken Tacos. Not
only were they the special of the day so only S/15.00 they were oh so good!
Other than friends and family I seriously think tasty food is the thing I miss
the most from the States!!!! Because I can’t remember everything about where I
go and who I meet but I can remember all the good food I’ve had. Then in the
afternoon we went to the Festival. They said they were sold out of the tickets
we wanted so we bought the higher up seats and then waited and waited to see
the seats we wanted fill up and throughout the whole night not even half were
used! I mean oh well we saved some money and it wasn’t like we were truly in
the noise bleed section!
Me with a cool couple!
