Chillin´ on the beach

I know its been a while to blog. I was just waiting for the perfect moment. Just when you think I´m not going to blog...there it is.
Now don´t be jealous. But let me just tell you I´m not freezing cold. Its summertime here and yesterday I contemplated the ocean, communciated with the crabs and ocean animals and took in some sun. Sounds like a perfect day, huh?
That´s right. Yesterday, we took at trip to the Huanchaco Beach. Its one of the most beautiful beaches in Peru. It was a wonderful day. Unfortunately, now I´m suffering the consequences of not applying sunblock more frequently. I´m a tomato! The city of Trujillo is moving up scale. Its almost like living in the U.S.A., but with a lot more culture and history. Someday, maybe we´ll live there. That means that the beautiful Huanchaco Beach is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Cool, huh? But for now, its about 2 hours away.
We played in the waves, built a sandcastle, sat and talked by the ocean and well, Christian and his siblings ate ceviche. (I´m stilling trying to adjust to that dish.) Doesn´t it look fabulous (the beach).
Here we are on the deck. Its started out being cloudy, but that sure didn´t stop the sun from giving all of us sunburns.

Check out the boat that the lifeguards use.

After the beach we took off to check out the new mall in town, get a bite to eat, and see a movie. It was a very fun day. It was our summer vacation! Cool, huh? Enjoy!
