June 1st: 

We went surfing in the morning!! I was very nervous to go surfing because I have never been before. John said he has been surfing once before when he was little, so he was pretty chill...until we got in the water. To my surprise I picked up surfing very quickly and the Peruvian guide told me I was "a natural". The first wave I surfed in I only stood up for about a second. But the next two I was able to ride the wave until it died and I jumped off the surfboard myself. I surfed a bit more, but the weather was turning on us and the waves getting a bit more scary so we all headed in. (I've been sore for three days from this!) But we had a blast!! Unfortunately, I don't think there is any proof of my success. At the end of this day we hopped on our bus to Huancayo at 12am, and arrived in Huancayo at about 5:30am. John wore shorts, we were freezing out butts off. We could see our breath!
