¡Vamos a la playa!

We spent yesterday and the previous afternoon enjoying the Peruvian Pacific beaches in a tiny Swimming in the Pacific (promise it is me!)town called 'Boca del Rio'. Though the others went to the first session of their symposium, they also found some friends there, who were going to go to their beach house. Which sounded a much more fun idea!

Lots of beach, lots of shells and starfish, lots of water, and lots of sun!! But man how we're paying for that last part now! Today, now that we are back in Tacna, has been spent lying practically naked on the beds watching TV with tons of moisturiser everywhere! Last night we treated ourselves to a hostel room, rather than camping out on hard tile floors with friends! I wasn't the worst off either - one girl couldn't even stand up until lunch time . (We had to bring back food from Count the legs!breakfast!) We're looking like the camarones (river shrimp) we ate the other day!

But hopefully we will be able to move enough to get ourselves to Puno tomorrow! But sitting for a long time without needing to move is sounding like a good idea right now!
