Visit to Huacachina
Huacachina is the beginning of a new rule that I am now setting for my travels. From now on I am also spending a minimum of two consecutive nights in a city. I guess I am getting old, but traveling to a new city every day just isn´t enjoyable and you end up spending up half of the time in buses and negotiation on rooms.
This is a nice change of pace. About 150 people live in Huacachina which I guess is more of a neighborhood of Ica. It is a desert Oasis with a small like and surrounded by huge sand dunes. It is still cold a night, but hot enough during the day that I was only willing to stay out by the pool for about a half hour because I was a little worried about getting burned. The key sports here are riding sand dunes and sandboarding. I didn´t do very well at the sandboarding but learned that you get going pretty fast while like on the sandboard on your stomache and the drivers are pretty crazy in their dune buggy´s.
