13 Mar

What an awesome night sleep! 11 hours of silence other than waves breaking!

Day spent lounging by the pool catching up on work and blog.

We took a walk into Mancora at about 5pm to get a feel for the town and to have some drinks and dinner. Mancora is the type of place where surfers, hippies and ex cons go to drop off the edge of the world, like one of those small Mexican seaside towns that you see the criminals in the movies running to in order to escape the law in the US. That said, it is a special little place. Lots of beach bars, beautiful weather and warm ocean.

We found a great little bar on the beach and sat there until well after sunset drinking Coronas and Pisco sours. Dinner was at a little place called La Sirena de Juan which served awesome Tuna.

Tomorrow we plan on leaving Mancora by 7am as we have a border crossing and are unsure about what it entails other than some horrific stories on the net about crossing into Peru at Aguas Vierdes.

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
