Mancora, Peru

Mancora, Peru
    When I arrived in Mancora I fell victim of the stomach flu so I did not do that much. The beach vibe of Mancora is very nice and relaxing though and it was a perfect place to relax for a couple of days.
    I arrived at my hostel at 7am and at breakfast I met three Americans and a girl from Denmark and I spent the rest of day (when I wasn't sleeping because I was feeling horrible) with them. 

    The next day, I was feeling better and the Americans had left so I hungout with the girl from Denmark who actually studied in Buenos Aires and gave me great advice on places to take tango classes! When I was with her I met a bunch of people from Chile, and my roommates were three girls from Chile. I realized that all of Mancora was taken over my Chileans and Argentines because it is their break!
    I spent most of that day with the Danish girl and the Chileans so most of the conversation was in Spanish. I learned that Chileans' accent is known as particularly hard to understand but they were all really friendly and I am excited because I am pretty sure I will meet with them in Santiago when I go there and they will show me around!
      On Sunday morning I caught the bus to Trujillo, and I met a girl from San Francisco who I spent the whole time in Trujillo with we even stayed at the same hostel! I tried my first day time bus which wasn't bad even for 10.5 hours and I got beautiful views of Peru. Northern Peru has been extremely hot and humid. I really have enjoyed Peru so far and their cebiche is supposed to be the best and it is very popular all over. I thought Ecuadorians honk often but I think Peruvians may take the cake. While walking down the street, all you hear is "beep beep" lol which is what me and my friend from San Francisco say. I have also learned that in South America they do not give you the check until you ask for it because it is considered rude and insinuating the people should leave. I have had to get used to the slower service and more relaxed atmosphere but I think it is nice.
   I really have enjoyed Trujillo, which I wasn't expecting. We went to see some Inca Ruins today and I have tons of pictures but I have to leave to catch my bus to Lima and then I am flying to Cusco right away!
