Laura is volunteering for Otra Cosas here in Huanchaco and through that she is staying in a homestay like place. The place is owned by this slightly older hippy jungle Peruvian man, Luis. He's very friendly and chill. Currently there are 11 of us staying at his place, 6 Argentinians, 2 Americans, 1 Dutch and us 2 Canadians. Laura and I share one room right by the kitchen. It's not the quietest, but that doesn't bother me. The place is great and the people are fun and it's only 12 soles a night. Argentinians are so hard to understand though!! There is no roof over the kitchen, but it rarely rains so it doesn't matter. Though stray kittens often come down searching for food. There is a three legged cat here and one dog, both are super cute. The cat tries to use his missing leg all the time. Last night we cooked dinner here, just a basic ate dry. The Argentinians cook all the time. They make food every day to take into the city to sell. They say the make pretty good money doing it. One of them busks when the traffic lights are red and 2 also play music. The guys play guitar really well and there's always music in the house when they're home. Huanchaco is a pretty small place and were about a 3 minute walk from the ocean and the surfing, and everything else in the town. Trujillo is about a 20 minute drive away and the buses go very often.
