It's winter in Lima. The days are gray, gray, gray.
But that doesn't stop our intrepid surfing dudes from heading to the beaches of Lima, wetsuits and surfboards in hand, to try to catch some waves.
As it happens, the Gwinner guys are not the only surfing nuts around. The various beaches along the Lima shore are full of them. You can see swarms of black-bedecked surfers out on the waves most anytime on a Saturday or Sunday, bobbing up and down. Sometimes they even stand up and surf, though that depends on the conditions.
Last Sunday, we all headed out to the coast. The water was pretty choppy. We checked out several of the local beaches and settled for one that looked less daunting than some of the others. Britt and Addison used their own boards, and we rented another for Jeremy. In the end, the conditions were tough. Of all the people out that day, nearly no one actually got a good ride. Though that didn't stop them from trying.
And the fun part was that we ran into several of Valerie's colleagues. So in spite of the fact that Lima has a population of 8-million-plus people, it was nice to discover that it can be a small world - and is starting to feel a bit more familiar.
