Trujillo to Huaraz valley ,...

Well today i got up early , by the time I ate and got loaded it was still 8pm , the winds started at 830pm , it was not so bad today as the mountains are blocking some of the wind , wow is it dry here , i don´t see how they live on what , they live in shacks and have nothing . We are so lucky to be born in Canada .... I ducked inland at Casma and started climbing up to 3000m , quite a change in 2 hrs from sweating to putting on the rain suit and cold weather gear .
Nice ride then I had fog for an hr on a very narrow rd with stright drop offs , probably better I could not see over the side , I think sometimes i´m scared of heights when i´attached to the earth . Got up into the high alto plana not much grows well up this high but they farm most every inch they can farm . Never seen another car for 3 hrs . Dropped into the valley at 4pm and like usual it started to pour again . So hotel shopping looking like a wet rat .... Got a decent hotel and a warm shower. This valley is world famous for mtn clibing with soth very technical ice /rock climbing and is like the chamonis or South america . But I found out it is the rainy season here and the summer season in Lima on the coast , go figure that one out ...
