• A lazy afternoon

    November 16, 2024 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We spent the rest of the day chilling on the beach, doing posts, listening to podcasts, and reading.  There are worse ways to spend your time!

    We had lunch in the bar.  Mark had ceviche, and I had a burger.  During the afternoon, we spotted a large turtle that appeared to be in difficulty between the rocks.  Sam rushed in to see if he could help the animal, but, unfortunately, it was dead, apparently poisoned by a treated hook that local fishermen use.  It was very sad.  Rodrigo, who owns the place, pushed the turtle back out to sea to be eaten, most likely by the turkey vultures that were already circling. 

    Sunset was a little disappointing as there was too much hazy cloud on the horizon.

    The cook group tonight prepared fish and vegetable curry with rice.  The rice was very claggy (Sam said this was deliberate 😀), but the curry was tasty.  I didn’t have much as it was a bit late for me to be eating.  We went to bed straight after as we have a very early start tomorrow.
