Lambayeque
Well, Peru is seeming a little better. We spent the night in Lambayeque, a little town just north of Chiclayo, and near the site of the famous Tomb of the Señor of Sipan. We found a great little parqueo owned by a friendly family who not only let us spend the night in our car, but wanted to hear about our trip, and even gave us a ceramic donkey as a reminder of their parqueo. Their son, Royal, is about 10, and he and his gang of friends, Marco and David, had endless questions for us. Douglas gave them balloons and instructions on how to make annoying noises with them, and we had a rubber-band war. This morning we found the right kind of workshop to press out the old bushings and press in and spot weld the new ones, so we are all set. We might go and see the town´s other museum before we take off.

Glad to see Tortuga has got fixed. Safe driving through Peru.
Great to catch up on your trip... we shall have to live vicariously through you now that we're back in the Excited States. I have just about readjusted to being in the English-speaking world (and being able to read / understand the signs)!
Great stories- beware of the sketchy money changers. they were flapping the stuff at me when I crossed from Guat. into Mexico, but I never thought of counterfeit.Your trip makes a nice contast- I've been slogging thru snow and mud today, cheerfully cuz it's spring, feeding cattle. (Was actually colder at nite in Xela.)
