Today, Angelina and I took a little adventure just a couple hours south of Lima. Angelina is my new up-for-anything housemate. She came a few days ago and didn't like here previously living arrangements, so she moved in with us!
We went to a small fishing village, called Pucusana and it was really picturesque. The bay was full of fishing boats of all colors and pelicans. We ate some ceviche, took some pictures and then headed out to Chiclan. To get there, we had to take a combi and then a rickshaw, which I was excited about because I've never ridden in a rickshaw before. :)
Chiclan is famous for mucky springs that are believed to possess healing powers. Some believe that these healing powers are from space aliens who periodically come and "re-charge" the muck in the springs. Trust me, I wouldn't be able to make this up. The area looks quite spacey. It's surrounded by sand dunes and the water is extremely salty, thick, and a pretty bright green. It was empty except for one other couple (it's still winter here), but so much fun! Now our skin feels oh-so-good.
Walking back, we ran into a hodge-podge of a sale going on in Parque Kennedy... lots of jewelry, handicrafts, and antiques! It'll be going on every Saturday for the rest of month. :)
