Escaping the rain

It has been raining almost every afternoon for two weeks now. Everybody talks about the rain. On the news, in the office, at meetings, on the bus. For someone used to a wetter climate, such as myself, I don't find it too unusual, but since building aren't constructed to cope with the rain there have been major problems with floodings. It has been even worse further up in the mountains. Outside Puno a whole bridge was washed away.


On the brighter side, Ida, César, Lauren, Alexy and I decided to do as all the other Arequipeños and hit the beach during the weekend. Said and done. We set out for Camaná, a village by the sea, that gets flooded by tourists during the summer.


It was a bit cloudy the first day, but we made sure to enjoy ourselves anyway. The Sunday was even better with dazzling sunshine. The picture above is from a small walking street inside the village where Ida and I ate the breakfast rolls that we had bought at the local food market. Below is yours truly squinting at the sun.


After having had breakfast and checked out from the hostel we spent all day relaxing at the beach. This last picture pretty much speaks for itself.
