Feb 17 – A day in Pacasmayo

When Levi got up in the morning, I discovered that he was not feeling well, and did not want to ride.  We thought that Pat would want to take off on his own, rather than lose a day, but it turned out that he stuck around for the day, also.  So, while Levi stayed in bed and recovered from apparent food poisoning,  Pat and I explored the town, and caught up on internet and other chores.  I tried, in vain, to replace my fuel line, thinking that maybe that was the source of my fuel supply problem.  We cruised the waterfront, which was really quiet lovely, with old hotels and a boardwalk and a large public beach. Towards sunset, the boy was feeling well enough to go out with us for a walk, so we returned to the waterfront and walk out onto the really long and unsafe commercial pier that extended from the boardwalk out into the Pacific.  It is interesting, that in the US this pier would have been roped off and no-one would have been permitted to go out on it, as it was so dangerous and unsafe;  here, they charged you $.50 to walk out on it!  We were treated to a world-class sunset, and took some great pictures, which I assume Levi will post.  We stayed in our same hotel another night, and Pat assured us that we would get an early start the next day!
