Waves

We just went to the beach and were in by far the biggest wavs of our lives. Where? Lima, Peru.

Yep, not everyone knows Lima is a coastal city. Most of the beaches are very dirty, and there are dead crabs everywhere (which isn´t that gross in itself until you start wondering why they all died). We found a nice beach by trying to sneak into a country club, which has a better than usual private beach. We weren´t successful, but sat on the fringes for a while. Vanessa befriended a middle aged lady who was pretty friendly and made fun of the exclusivity of the country club. When I have time I´ll try to post about how exclusivity is different in developing countries v the US.

Anyway the waves were seriously huge. You couldn´t even bodysurf them beacause you would get flipped around a couple of times. Good stuff.
