This morning started out quietly. I sorted through pictures, and tried to organize them for when I would finally get caught up on my blog. Late morning, Phil and I decided to walk to Paseo Yortuque. We had driven past it multple times and were encouraged to only walk it during the day. The statues tell the history of Lambayeque, created by Juan Carlos Ñañaque. Most of what we saw, we had learned about at the museums. It was a fun walk, but Phil had to improvise when the sun peeked through the clouds. He forgot a hat and already had quite the sunburn on his head. He sported a new look and didn't resemble a tourist at all! On our walk, we also passed a bilingual school, and vehicles avoiding disaster on the rough roads. Unfortunately, we also witnessed a motorcycle flipping when the front tire hit a deep pot hole. We had Chifa for lunch. We were the only people in the restaurant. Since it was a national holiday, San Pedro y San Pablo, and school was closed for the day, we figured families were celebrating at home. Later, Jose Luis picked us up to go to Santa Rosa for the festival. It looked like a completely different town. It was bustling with people! There were caballitos de totura competitions, and a live band. Vendors were selling food, balloons, and toys. The celebration was in full effect! We enjoyed another gorgeous Pacific sunset before we went back to get ready for a farewell dinner with our friends. We had another extraordinary meal. Phil especially enjoyed the beef hearts. We were presented with a certifcate from Santa Ana school. We were incredibly grateful for this incredible experience. We ended the night dancing at a club. What amazing friends we have made! Chiclayo really is the friendship capital of Peru!
