mountain people we are!

We tried....realy tried to love the coast and la playas. But yet again we feel much better in the mountains.After a night in Caral, the oldest town in the americas, 5000 Years ago there was a huge civilization,just not as famous as egypt(which came later) building huge pyramids. We drove east of the panamericana, just to get away from the fog , the desolate pueblos and the weird feeling of closed up properties because its not main season
We love the little town of Lunahuana,just the right size for us. If you wonder what Susanne is doing.... thats the typical position of a indigenous. Peeling Loquat/ Nisperos a lot of work for little reward.Most of the time four seeds to spit out. But tranquillo,thats the lifestyle here. Take it easy.....Read more

We met up with an old friend of mine from high school, Jose Visconti and his girlfriend Samoa who both live in Lima. It was great seeing a familiar face and catching up with Jose who is now a chocolatier! He sources his beans from deep in the Peruvian jungle, and it is very delicious (shout out to Elemento chocolate). We stayed in the popular Peruvian tourist town of Lunahuana. We drank wine by the pool and chatted about life. Next we went north to Jose’s family’s beach house (30 minutes south of Lima). It was inside a gated community and a very different way to see Peru. It was a beautiful community where everyone spends the day on the beach and rides their bikes from happy hour to happy hour. It felt very much like San Diego. We had a wonderful dinner filled with wine, pisco (Peruvian liqueur), guacamole, and ice cream with Jose, Samoa, and his parents.Read more
