First days on the Beaches of PE

We landed in PE as all the Mexican Nationals have. Bus after Bus of Mexico City tourists rolled into town pretty much at the same time as us, or so the traffic jam of busses indicated! Our taxi driver wasn't too impatient, so he didn't try to pass everyone only 90% or so....

We've had wicked hot weather so far, and the forecast calls for more of it for at least a week. We went to Bacocho beach, there is a private beach club there, so for 60 pesos (roughly $5) we get a pool and service for beers :)

The waves on Bacocho beach here can be brutal though. I have been tossed in the waves twice now! Adrian of course can stand up to them. I've got a bump on my elbow, and a sore neck, but I have gotten away lucky. We were walking down the beach and a Retired Canadian woman and her friend were tossed, one woman was limping quite badly and by the time she had to leave, she couldn't walk, she had to be carried by her friends to her car. Looked to me like it was a broken ankle. Bummer.

We've also been cooking and eating in quite a bit, the food here is greasy at worst, and very few veggies in them either.
