Sorry im so bad at blog updates

So much has happend since the last post. We have been to the cities of Banos, Cuenca, Mancora Beach, Trujillo, Huaraz, Lima, and Ica! We are currently back in Lima trying to get allison a brazilian visa. We went to ballestas island yesterday (poor mans galapagos) and saw a wide array of sea lions, penguins, dolphins, and so many birds. The whole island was covered in bird poop. That afternoon we went sandboarding on the dunes near huacachina. Allison managed to go down on her feet but I just surfed down on my stomach. The buggy drivers were crazy and we went flying over the dunes. Later we watched the sunset over the desert and it was incredibly beautiful. All that was just yesterday. A brief summary of the other stuff we have seen: beautiful waterfalls in banos and bike rides in the rain. Then we went to cuenca which was incredible, the corpus christi festival was going on and the streets were full of sweets and fireworks and the next day we visited some really cool museums. Then we crossed the border which was not very fun. We spent a full day at mancora beach in the beautiful sunshine. Long nightbus to Trujillo and visiting the Huaca de la luna chimu temple and the chan chan ruins. Long night bus to Huaraz and a tour of an avalanche devastated city (happened in 1970) and a boat ride in a beautiful lagoon. Our first trip to Lima all we did was nap for a few hours in this amazing hostel which we are at again. It was the best nap ever! Then we took a bus to Ica and I already described what we did yesterday. That is a quick summary. We have had a lot of fun and hope everyone is having a great summer.
