Northern, Coastal Peru

My friend Sindy invited me to bus with her to Northern, Coastal Peru.
We went to Lobitos first.  A beach town - more like a village!
It is still kind of undiscovered, but becoming more and more popular with surfers.

Last year the Women's International Surf Competition was here, and this year will be the Men's. 
So they say that now everyone wants to know Lobitos :)
This is the pier right in front of the hostal we stayed at (Sindy's friends own the hostal)... we ate fresh fish and ceviche, YUM!!

Here is our walk back to the house/hostal on the pier.
My friend Sindy is on the right, and the big house you see in the 
distance is "Surf Camp" hostal where we stayed.

The beach when the tide is out.

This is entering Lobitos, the sign says, "Welcome to Lobitos"

We made a stop in Piura (a hot, hot city) on our way home and from there
took a taxi to Catacaus.  We just walked around and looked at the shops.


Later this night we took our overnight bus back to T-city.
A quick weekend trip, but so worth it!
