Playa Mejía

Went to the beach today, who knew the Pacific Ocean is only 2 hours away. I put on plenty of sunscreen and jumped in the very cold, although not as cold as Lake Superior, water 3 or 4 times to cool myself down from the heat of the beach. The place was practically deserted because it´s technically winter and there´s a mist around the ocean, but we enjoyed the short get-away and laid back vibe.
On the way back our bus stopped for over a half hour on account of an accident in front of us. There was a bus, from the same bus company as ours, that apparently crashed into another vehicle... From my window I only saw the damaged bus, crushed only on the driver´s side/corner. There was an ambulance, and I heard someone say ¨esta viva¨ aka ¨alive¨ but I have no clue what other vehicle could have caused so much damage to a bus. It looked only like a car, and I thought buses were invincible in the loco traffic of Perú. On the brighter side, I stopped counting after the 20th man got off the bus to pee only 3 yards away on the side of the road. Only 2 women, both of which had to walk much farther away out of the glares of headlights from cars behind the stopped bus, risked nature´s call.
