Things have been pretty shaky here with the organization so we decided a change of scenery would do us some good. We went to Pacasmayo, a small quiet beach town about an hour and a half away from Trujillo. Pacasmayo is a funny little town full of beautiful run down buildings, crazy street art, and topped off with a big Jesus statue. It's known for having one of the longest piers in Peru and the longest waves in the world (perfect for long boards) and mostly frequented by Brazilian surfers. The boys and I wanted to surf, but unfortunately these waves were out of our league so we settled for watching the pros.
Our hostel courtyard.
dead seal... unnecessary picture?
abandoned train station.
kids all dressed up for their school's 50th anniversary.
'cozy' moto-taxi.
and our moto-taxi's decorations: jesus, keiko, and naked women cut out of a newspaper.
what's better than a churros and a sunset? two churros and a sunset. (fried pastries with dulce de leche inside. delicious.)

P.S. One of my students took me into town last week to meet her friends at the university, try my first anticuchos (surprisingly delicious. although the idea of eating heart grosses me out, l might actually eat it again), and to replace my stolen camera with a newer better one. I've been having lots of fun with it and I took more pictures this weekend than I have the entire trip. Actually, all of us have been enjoying it. :)
