Matt and I are still in Pisco, but we´ll be leaving Tuesday to go to Cuzco and hike the Inca Trail. Our time here at PSF (Pisco Sin Fronteras) has been good, more or less. Unfortunately, I have been sick most of my time here. I had some sort of bacteria in my digestive tract giving me acute stomach pains and...other things... I also didn´t have much energy. The bout lasted longer than I expected, so I went to the doctor, and I was prescribed some antibiotics. I haven´t felt 100% but much better.
This weekend a group of us went to an oasis town called Huacachina near Ica in Peru. This town is surrounded by sand dunes, and is a popular place for riding dune buggies and sandboarding. We paid for a tour which included riding in the buggie over the dunes and sandboarding. It was really fun. It helped that I had done some snowboarding, so I was able to ride the sand pretty well. However, the bindings were just Velcro, and I had trouble trusting them for changing from heel-side to toe-side and vice-versa. In any case, it was a really good time. Plus, the sun was setting while we were out there, and the dunes were beautiful. I´ll try to get some pictures up next time.
