Huanchaco

I got up this morning and went for a run on the beach.  My ankle was more stiff than when I went running last night but it loosened up after a while.  I really did not do much today except enjoy the day, hang around and be lazy.  I went for a swim in the ocean in the afternoon and watched people a lot of the day.  I found a nice park with grass and no-one was around so I took a nap in the shade.  Being close to the equator during the summer, the sun can burn in a matter of 30 minutes or so without sun lotion.  I have some 50

Yesterday I went for the cheap food place and I think it made me sick.  I had my first case of dysentary since being in Peru.  Today I went to the more upscale Mochica restaurant where they had good service and good food.  I had Cabrito with Tacu Tacu.  It was braised goat with beans and rice.  The goat was nice and tender and had a spicy sauce with it.  With the tacu tacu, they mix the beans and rice with seasonings and then fry it a little to get it crisp on the outside.  It is the only bean dish I have run accross in Peru and I was kind of craving some beans.  I forgot to bring my camera with me so, I didn´t get a picture of my dinner.
