Day 29 Tuesday, April 2nd Mancora, Peru

All grumpiness gone-Mancora is everything we need right now. We take a tuc-tuc to Las Olas, which is on the beach and we negotiate with Gustavo for an ocean-front room with a private balcony and bathroom for $57/night but I forget to ask if breakfast is included-oh well, we are given immediate access to the room at 8.00am., take a hot shower and get an eggs and black coffee breakfast. Surf is up and right outside our room so I borrow Gustavo’s board and go surfing. Great!

We meet Pablo Pozo and his wife Elina Carrio from Aregentina-fellow guests here. She is a graphic designer of wine labels in the Mendoza area of Argentina. They are really nice, about late thirties and have one son (left at home) of 5. We invite them to come and visit us in California.

Evening on our balcony with pre-dinner Manhattans as we watch the local surfers and some kids playing soccer on the beach. We may delay our return home.
