Ventimiglia Visits Ventanilla

Try saying that three times fast.  This past weekend I went to the beach in the nearby city of Ventanilla with my host family and some of their extended family.  Going to the beach was fun, but unfortunately I got sunburn, which never makes things fun.  Apparently the sun in Peru just doesn’t like light-skinned Americans, because everyone else who went to the beach with me did just fine with little or no sunblock.

It’s hard to believe that the end of January is almost here.  The summer in Peru continues to be hot and humid, and I’m told that it will probably be hotter in February, which I guess is no consolation for those of you experiencing the cold and snow of winter in the Midwest!
