October 5th, 2018 - Grocery shopping, homemade lunch and dinner

Today's post is going to be brief and not as eventful as yesterday or tomorrow will be.
We went shopping this morning at Mercado Magdalena which is an open marketplace that has every type of produce and butcher shop you can imagine.
It is located about a mile from Naomi's house and we take a moto taxi which costs 2 soles to get there. I have been here many times before but it's my first time ever writing about this place. It's basically like a farmers market that's always open from 6am to 2pm and there is plenty of unrefrigetated raw meat and health violations by our standards. People here live by instinct and trust their sense of smell and intuition. Hint: it's better to go buy raw meat in the morning than to wait all day before they close while everything sits out all day.

We started off our morning at one of my favorite places to get a quick breakfast. El rey de Jugos I have been visiting since 2015 and they make some great smoothies and tasty sandwiches. I always get a pan con pollo which is shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato, papitas fritas, mustard, mayo, and ají (Peruvian pepper sauce) and it is amazing. This place is conveniently located right inside Mercado Magdalena so its a good stop before you go grocery shopping in the morning if you plan on visiting here.

Naomi had to go present her thesis again with her class partner from her university. I was here at home exercising and getting ready for a fun day tomorrow. It will be the maiden voyage for my new board and I'm kind of glad it's not firing tomorrow so I can get adjusted and practice on some 3-5 ft waves with a decent swell behind them. Tomorrow I'll be surfing Punta Roquitas which is the spot I scouted out a few days ago and really enjoyed what I was seeing. It's a fun looking consistent break with nice long sections with both lefts and rights.
Well I guess I'll wrap this up and get back to everyone tomorrow when I get to surf my first time ever in Peru. Time for some dinner and some good rest tonight. 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️

This song kind of resonates with what I feel American people have been experiencing at home. A level of political distrust by both parties with nothing good in store for everyone watching from the stands. I'm kind of an anarchist in a way and I'd hope both political parties burn at the end of the day and we can return to voting sensibly and electing leaders that reflect the best people we know in our lives.. yeah that probably wont happen.
