Down Time at the Beach!

So after lots of bus trips and sightseeing in Norther Peru, we thought we needed a little break. Our friends Ali and David (who we first met in Chile and went to the Uyuni Salt Flats with) have been meeting up with us from time to time for the last 6 weeks. They were also with us to celebrate my birthday. So it was great to meet up with them in Mancora, a beautiful beach near the Ecuador / Peru border. We also happen to have a date to meet with them at the Gramercy Tavern (David booked us in for a super lunch deal) in New York City on the 28th of June when they stopover for 3 days on their way to the UK.



Kevin has some great pictures of the beach. This was the view from our room.



Kevin chilled out in the hammock, though I think it was slightly too small for him. Love the haircut Kev!



The waves were pretty good at the beach so people were windsurfing...something I've never done but would love to do.



And this is sort of unrelated...but this is the view of a cloud forest from our our bus window, while we were on our way to Quito, Ecuador. I've decided I really love cloud forests.
