June 29th

After breakfast this morning, Georg drove us to El Nuro for part of their celebration of St. Peter's Day. We arrived on the pier at El Nuro to find a large crowd gathered along the entire length of the pier. We met up with one of Georg's friends who took us through the crowd, down some steps and onto9 a boat. There were probably 40 or 50 boats decorated with the Peruvian flag and the streamers of triangular flags. We had about 15 people on our boat; others were considerably more populated and yet others had only 2 or 3 aboard.
