When we returned to Huanchaco from our long day working we went in search of food. We are only given rolls and bananas to eat all day, a tyical Peruvian lunch, but not enough for most of us .We found a restuarant called "The Wave" where the surfers hang out. They advertised their Mexican food on a sandwhich board outside and we couldn't resist. We sat on the balconey and watched the sun sparkling on the ocean. Then the owner of the restaurant brought up some live musicians for us. They played the guitar, mountain flute, and drums. We especially loved it when they played "La Bamba" for us. We felt pretty special since we were the only ones in the whole building. The food was unlike any Mexican food I have ever had, but it was very fresh. After our meal we went to see an old artisan who works ou of her house. I requested a vase depicting the Moche decapitation god. I showed her a picture in my camera from Huaca de la Luna, and low and behold she had a vase that was just what I was looking for. Handcrafted and painted and I got it for like 18 American dollars. That's just wrong.
