Piura Vida, Bebe!

So, it's official. I'm going to Nuevo Pueblo de Colán in Piura about 16 hours north of Lima by bus. Apparently, Colán is within 45 minutes of some of the most beautiful beaches in Peru. Also, since it's not Mancora, Peru's most popular tourist beach, it's empty for most of the year. From everything I've heard, I should expect no rain for two years, absurd amounts of sun and heat (like 120 degrees in the summer) and some of the most fantastic ceviche and seafood in all of Peru. I think I just might like it hear.

I'll find out on Monday just what I have in store when I meet my community partners and other Peace Corps volunteers stationed here. More updates to come.
