Headed out this morning early, stopped in Paracas, one of my new favorite areas, to refuel myself and the bike, then headed on to Huacachina. All in all. the town, a once elite resort area, has devolved into more of a tourist area for college kids who like to play in the sun. To me, it looks like the standard oasis that appeared in Bugs Bunny cartoons when I was a kid. After about 20 minutes, I headed out to Nazca, and back into the mountains. The temperature quickly rose from the low 60s to 88F by lunch. The mountain road was twisty, turny and fun. As I came around one of the corners, a truck hauling oranges had flipped over and spilled its load. Not sure if anyone got hurt, but I can surely say that this was the zestiest accident I have ever encountered.
