For my birthday I wanted to do something fun so I wouldn't be so homesick so we headed off to the beach Haunchaco. It's not exactly the most beautiful beach I've ever seen but, hey, when there's sun, there's happiness. We had a good time just walking on the sand, people watching, and actually being WARM for a change (note: Trujillo, Peru is freezing! ). We rode in some little home made boats in the ocean and shopped in the shops. It's crazy how many people will just set up little stores on the bottom level of their houses or ride a bike around town with goodies. It's a whole different culture here and I found they have a lot more pride. At least they are selling something and not just begging on the corner. Since my birthday, Jenna and I have ventured off to the beach many times and found that it's not as scary as we thought it would be in Peru, however, EVERYONE stares and EVERYONE is pregnant...ha, they think it's so weird that we've been married for over a year and don't have babies on our hips. It's been fun here and I've enjoyed waking up whenever I please and not having anywhere to be ever. I must admit, it does get a little boring at times and I do miss fall mucho. Hopefully there won't be snow on the ground before we get home and I'll get a little taste of what I was missing. Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!!!
Oh and Jake thought this would be a new good look. Go Aggies!
Hey guys! Or Alex mostly since I'm guessing you do most of this blogging business. (that's how it is for us anyway) I just stumbled across your blog and thought I'd see what you've been up to. I don't think I realized that Jake is doing international business (my husband is doing the same thing!!) and I'm SOO jealous that you are in Peru right now. That is one of my top locations to visit. How fun for you guys! I hope all is well and I'll be interested to see where else you guys get to go.
ReplyDeleteHeard you're home. I'm doing another calendar for Tif for Christmas and would love any photo's you too have of your adventures in Peru or any photos in general. AND if you see Emma snap some of her and send them to me. Thanks! I'm trying to get it done by Thanksgiving when we are coming down so if you can asap that'd be great. Thanks! Love ya.
