Marathons and transit strikes

Last weekend we celebrated the 4th with a marathon run* by a PC business volunteer in the beach town of Pacasmayo. It went well, with the unfortunate exception of one tiny, little snag.

About halfway back to site, we were caught in the middle of — *dun, dun, DUN* — transit strikes. Drivers all over the country are upset about a sudden and steep hike in fines for traffic violations and have decided not to move for a while.

Meaning we can't move either.

I'm trying to take it in stride. I'd like to get back to site, but I'm also keenly aware that I'm stuck somewhere that has 1.) internet 2.) restaurants with salads and 3.) a movie theater.

So, as frustrating as it can be to be stuck, I think I'll take in some Ice Age 3 and try and bear this burden as best I can.

* pun intended
