Don’t Drink the Water

Peru is a place of wonder and amazement. There are beautiful mountains and beaches both within walking distance from each other. There are dogs that live everywhere and no where at the same time. Most miraculously is that Coca-Cola us cheaper than water.

Now I have every excuse to drink coke and pass on healthier water. Coke is making its progression into my life here the way coffee does for most working adults in the US (you can’t say America because it offends people here). I started out getting one small classic Coca-Cola glass bottle from the little store run by Poncho across the street for the first two weeks. Now I upgraded to the larger glass bottle which contains slightly more than two of the previously consumed bottle size. And as seen in the coffee consumption levels of the chronic user I should be somewhere near a three liter bottle for lunch by the end of the summer.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

The picture above is a cove in the small fishing town of Pucusana about fifteen minutes from where we live. Really nice town and beautiful coast line. This cove’s only inlet/outlet is an eight feet wide, 25 feet high cutout in the rocky cliff holding the rest of the ocean back. It comes through makes a lot of noise and a big splash before settling nicely into the miniature beach on the other side.
