We had some great easy riding today. We rode through the desert on fairly
straight roads with lighter winds. The few towns that I had to go through,
I didn't get lost. I did get lost a little in Lima, but I finally hired
a taxi to get me where I needed to go. We have met a friend of my from
Los Angeles that lives in Peru three months out of the year. Dino is from
Peru, but has been living in Los Angeles for many years. He returns every
year for a few months to visit his mom. He lives in a very nice part of
town and helped us find a great little hotel.

the time today |
