Sunday, May 31, Still in Chiclayo

Sunday was a day of rest, sort of. In the late morning we walked to the Tour agency and paid for the next day's tour. At some point we saw a parade that featured a statue of the virgin that swayed back and forth. Then we had a nice lunch again at Hebrons Restaurant. We drank Chicha Morada, the drink I think tastes a bit like a mixture of plum and maybe pomegranate juice with a hint of cinnamin. After lunch Allen and Beth returned to the hotel to relax and take care of their colds.

I walked to and through two markets. The first, the Market Central, was like a typical market in Mexico with many small stalls on each side of narrow aisles selling all sorts of clothes, gadgets and food. The second was a larger market and was supposed to have some witch doctors (Los Bruges) that one could either buy medicines from or hire to do their magic cures, but I did not see any. So I walked back to my room and lazed around the rest of the afternoon.

In the evening we walked to restaurant featuring woodfired pizzas. We shared a vegetarian pizza and lemonade. The we returned to the hotel to prepare for an early morning getaway to the ecological reserve.
