Its funny when a girl winks at you on a bus. Thats was the icebreaker on my way to the beach. I had planed on going to a beach called San Bartolo. That changed after I started talking to the peruvian girl and her friends. I was convinced to go to la playa negra with them. After spending some time there I understood why its called the black beach. The sand was sand colored but it left a black tint on your feet.
At La Playa Negra I swam in the pacific for the first time. It wasnt much of a swim however. I was just tossed around by waves in wast deep water. I had never been afraid of the ocean before. I decided not to test my luck and stayed shallow.
With that swim I can now check off the Pacific Ocean from my lifetime to do list. I now only have to swim in the Arctic to complete the four oceans. I will have to think about that. Sounds Cold.
In the past week I also checked off visiting the southern hemisphere, and the south west quadrant. I now only need to go to the South East and I will have been to the four corners. Also I can check off South America as my third continent visited. So in a week I completed a new hemisphere and quadrant, a new continent and a new ocean. Not a bad week.
Today I am taking a bus to Cuzco. Destination Matchu Pichu. If I survive the twenty hour bus ride through the Andes and climb to the once mighty Inca Capital I can check off my second of the Seven New Wonder of the World. Did I mention its a twenty hour bus ride. I cant wait.
