We finally were able to spend 3 more days at the beach. Mancora is a very popular surfing spot, and we were looking forward to doing some surfing. But, the surf is pretty low-key and the small area for surfing was very crowded with people taking lessons, so we decided to try surfing at the next beach we visit. Also annoying was due to the popularity of the beach, you couldn't lay out in the sun or take two steps anywhere before a crowd of people selling things swarmed in on you. We are hoping that next time we go to the beach it will feel more calm and relaxing! That being said, the weather was perfect, mid-80s during the day and mid-70s at night with low humidity, and we stayed in a really nice beach bungalow for 2 of the nights.

| The 1st night we stayed at this party hostel, which was a really nice hostel, but filled with 18 year-olds looking to hook up, and we just weren't feeling it. We moved on to the bungalow for nights 2 and 3. |

| We walked as far down the beach as possible one day, to be turned around by a police officer standing guard, who told us it is too dangerous to go any further. It is great that they have security personnel everywhere down here, but a strange feeling to know that there is always a good reason for them. |

| People watching (or should we say escaping from the hoards of beach-sellers) and eating our last meal of ceviche before heading on to Ecuador. The ceviche was great in Peru! |
