In the summer most people in Arequipa go off to the beach which is three hours away on bus. Throughout the year I have wanted to go and experience the Peruvian beaches but have never had a chance, but finally last weekend I got to go. I went with my mentor Ruth Turner for the weekend to Mejia.

| To prove I was there!! |
Latin Link have a house in Mejia so we went to stay there, and it was so nice, standing on the patio you saw the sea and could even here it from the house... I have missed the sound of the waves. And from the house the beach was only a five minute walk.

What did we do at the beach? Well something I don't normally do - sat on the beach and sunbathed - we did sit under a shelter so we were in the shade, but somehow I still managed to get my legs burnt - stupid me!
Though I don't normally like sitting on the beach not doing much - it was lovely to get down there and relax, sit and read, watch the waves etc - nice to relax before coming back to Arequipa for a week of goodbyes - it helped refresh me. And I had good company in the form of Ruth, though sometimes I think she wished I would stop talking!!

It was lovely to go and see another part of Peru as well as take in some rays before I go home to the cold cold weather in Northern Ireland.
