Surfing in Huanchaco, Trujillo

Yesterday, we spent the morning and early afternoon surfing. We took some lessons from a local fellow from Huanchaco named Carlos for about s./35 each. He was a good instructor and Mary, myself and our three South African friends were able to ride waves fairly early during our lesson. The waves were quite big, but friendly. The hardest part was paddling back-out past the breaking waves. Afterwards we ate a burrito lunch - it was delicious, very very good. We alo tried some ¨ceviche¨, which is raw fish in lots of lime (interesting indeed, but also very good). We drank some beer and spent time with the local surfers. We also met some people from Ireland, who were taking surfing lessons as well. Later in the evening, we had dinner where we had eaten breakfast in the morning. This small restaurant is called ¨chill-out¨and many forgeiners hang out here. Through conversation with other travellers, we have learned about numerous places to visit and things to do on our way to Ecuador.
