Chalhuanco-Nasca-Dec-9 2017

We were up early...6 am as last night after a 7pm dinner, no Internet service....we both crashed....
Breakfast under our belts or should I say behind it, we headed for Nasca....again Google says less than 200 miles but a full 8 hours in the saddle on the ups and downs of the mountains.

 
 
 These kids were sitting on that drainage ditch as I passed by with the youngest waiving.....I turned back and gave them candy...noting that they had water with them and biscuit snacks.....we had not seen a house in miles and this was on the plateau of a mountain....just after taking this pic a car stopped and the kids ran to it....the driver handed out snacks and sped off.......strange  and tough life....
 It is not hard to spot other Adventure riders
 and as we passed a service station I saw 2 big bikes loaded and turned back to introduce myself with Ken turning back as well. Two Californians on the road 20 days heading for their home country of Brazil.... great meet and talk.......1 on a 1200 gs and the older my age on A VSTROM 2012.
 Our room for the night........
 Ken looking happy as he delves into some Pollo and then my pizza......
 Ken taking a rest on our walk back to the Hotel....I think he had one of these in his teen days.....

Manana we head for Paracas where we are suppose to have another rest day....as well we are suppose to stay here another day...will see....we are already 1 day ahead...
