¿Que tal con los Waikeys?

Surf tournaments, landslides, fiestas and constant action; the normalities of Peru. I had been hoping to head out towards Cajamarca for semana santa but due to the heavy rains and landslides the road is not passable. I decided that I would go to Chachapoyas instead and travel South through some ruins until I make it to Leymabamba. My second barrier was that I had misplaced my debit card and since it was the weekend furthermore Easter I was not able to talk to my bank until today. So far everything seems to be okay and there has not been any exploitation. I have another credit card that I can take money out with but since it is not my money I have to pay the interest and the tax to take the money out from the ATM. Due to my mobile passing I need to find a place where they can send me a new card. The story is that it will take a couple weeks to arrive. I am even more antsy to leave but I won´t know anything until this afternoon when I head to Trujillo. From there I will try and find a decently priced ticket to Chachapoyas and god willing can be on my way tonight.
As for the Life in Huanchaco, it has been quite enlightening. Any commodities found it the States like batteries, coffee, scissors, milk, really anything that you are used to having complete access to does not exist or is fairly hard to find. The people are alive and full of life, especially at night. It is not unusual for the population to stay awake until the first taste of sunlight that brings the day. For the most part they are quite entertaining but have an wicked tendency to fight and the fights mainly revolve around women and alcohol. I have paid my dues with the artisans and they finally see me a true friend even though my obvious invasion into their country keeps me seperated as the Gringa. It seems there is a constant battle between Peruvians and the Gringos. Really you can bet that when you go into a store they most assuredly will charge double the price for the Gringo than they will for the native peruvian. There are two options; you can either try and mangle down the price or grin and bear it because it is something that will not change because everyone knows that since you have the money to make it down to South America you obviously have the money to pay more. I genuinely miss my family and friends but still feel that my trip has so much to offer that I am able to have a standing balance for lack of a better word.
