Hey, we haven´t posted in awhile, so we should update our whereabouts, etc. After doing Machupicchu on July 14 we headed out the next day to the jungle. We did a 4 day, 3 night tour to Manu reserve. It was so humid and sticky in the jungle, but we had decent accomodations. We did whitewater rafting, a zip-line, and nature walks. Yesterday morning we flew from Cusco to Lima, then spent the day shopping and getting manicure, pedicures to kill time. We bussed overnight to Trujillo, then took a taxi to Huanchaco, a little surf town a few minutes away. We are staying across the street from the ocean and have been out surfing yesterday and today. The sun actually came out today and we went to Chan Chan, the ruins of a Chimu city. They are quite amazing, especially because of the decorations on the walls and the sheer size of the city. I would post pictures, but they take so long to upload, so it´s not going to happen for awhile. Tomorrow we are planning to surf one last time, then head to Trujillo to see the ruins of the Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Moon. We fly back to Lima tomorrow night, then the day after that we start our journey home! Yay! Talk to you all soon!
