Punta Rocas

A couple days ago, the girls and I went to the beach.  Having a roommate with a car has it's perks!  We went to a place called Punta Rocas.  It was lovely!  There were people around, but it wasn't crowded.  The water was a bit rough, so swimming wasn't really an option, but if you just want to sit by the ocean and relax; this is the place to do it.

This was the traffic we had to sift through in order to get to the beach.  We're only a few blocks from our house at this point.  We quite enjoyed the license plate.  The license plate of the car to the right of us said "sow".

The view from our beach chairs.  God's creation!

The lifeguards who had nothing to do since no one was swimming.  They ended up playing a lot of raquetball.

I also had the opportunity to have my first try of Cerviche with a side of Camote.  Cerviche is raw fish with lots of lime and onion!  I liked the latter two quite a bit, but wasn't too thrilled by the texture of the raw fish, so I have to say I probably won't have it anytime soon.  The Camote (Sweet Potato) on the other hand was fabulous, especially with the flavors of the Cerviche.  This picture shows Choclo (Peruvian Corn), as well, which is one of my favorite snacks in Peru.  I am happy to say that I have not gotten ill from any of the food I've eaten since being back, this included.  Praise the Lord!!!

P.S. Thanks to Megan for sharing these pictures with me.
