She's Alive!!!

I don´t know what I was thinking when I packed my Spanish-English dictionary. If I had been at all prepared I would have known to bring my French-English dictionary instead. I've just spent another weekend speaking mostly French. I arrived friday in Mancora after driving through the absolutely pungent smelling Chimbote and staying a lonely 2 days in the disappointing Trujillo. Mancora has been nice though. As I was saying, I spent much of the weekend with a group of 12 students from Quebec studying in Lima. It was nice, but I did find at some points that I could not, no matter how earnestly I tried, coax a single spanish word from my mouth. It was like they had gone on strike or something, jealous that I had ignored them for so long.

Since friday my days have been spent lying on the beach, reading my Bridget Jones Diary (hahaha.. definately a better read, Michaelle), drinking frothy drinks, and occassionally jumping in to the cold ocean.... yes, I forced myself in! Ah, but it is so tiring.. I think I have had my fill! ;)

I have a bus tomorrow early in the morning for Piura, where I will get another bus across the border into Ecuador. I'm going to stay a few days town hopping until I eventually end up in Quito to see my dear friend Emma. Happy Birthday Emma!

Anyway, I must go... I think its nap time. haha.

Hahaha... look at the nerdy tourists!
