Man. I really needed the beach. Right now I'm lying in my bed in Mancora, Peru with maybe the worst stomach ache of my life (literally feels like a volcano. lava belly. ew.) I am actually feeling it wear off but ever since to much whiskey in a bar in Lima on Wednesday, things have been a little bit hard. I think being sick does it to you. It makes everything else you are able to focus on and keep together when healthy just all start feeling less hopeful.
Yesterday we boarded our bus from Lima to Mancora, a projected 19 hour ride, both not feeling 100 percent but looking to the end: sunny beaches, sounds of the ocean instead of honking cars.. and we got here. this time it was airplane seat status. we were sitting in the very front of the second floor so got killer visuals of the coastline. plus, they showed Drive. which was great visuals also (insert girly crush on ryan gosling). have to say though. Overdubbing sucks. such a shame.
Anywho, Lima was a little bit of a wild ride. we did our duty as twenty somethings and went out on the town, ate awesome sushi.. even with a day lost to whiskey, we got to see a lot of the city. Varun was great host and got us tickets to a party hosted by ciroc vodka, which was super surreal. I cant say we fit in super well with the heels and minidresses, but we did alright. pregaming at Varun's friend's house whose sala contained a pool and a hefty collection of African animal heads and body parts for furniture was also quite surreal, but all of Varun's friends were really nice and accommodating. such a different experience than anything else we've seen in Peru. This country is all over the board!
But like mentioned, i think i really needed this beach. the city was foreign but it felt in some ways the same, bringing with it all the not-so-positive pressures and stresses of daily life at home, which is useless when you are a month and 5000 miles away from doing anything about that shit. More coconut water straight from the coconut please. And less lava belly. Love you all.
Also this is posted 6 days late because blackberry wouldn't post it for me at time of Conception. More soon.
What does Peruvian Ryan Gosling sound like?
