The boat being swarmed by birds

The fishermen were smiling and waving at us. They bring fresh fish in to the village every day and is was some of the best I have ever had. I even had fish and eggs for breakfast my last morning there. Yummy!

Birds swarming a fishing net

20130512-195312.jpg

These pelicans and hundreds of other birds were swarming a fishing boat when our tour was headed outta the Federal marine reserve at Ballestras Islands of Paracas. Our captain took us over for a quick look. The smaller birds dive straight into the water then seem to just bounce right out of the water, give a little shake and off they fly…usually with a small fish in their mouths.

People were taking pictures all along this wall. At one spot a girl was lying on top of the wall where it dipped posing for her boyfriend.

Supper

This was antichuri de corazon – not sure I spelled that right – it was a bamboo skewer with beautifully spiced and perfectly cooked beef heart – very yummy! And the fries did not need ketchup. The drink is a mini pisco sour which is the national Peruvian drink. It came with the meal – that was the bribe to get me to eat there…..I will have to try a real one, it was very good.
