adobe abode

So close to being a palindrome. So very close. Anyway, I saw an adobe palace today. At Chan Chan, the biggest mud town in the world. Bigger than Timbuktu, apparently. Well dirt.

Also went to the Temple of the Moon, which was pretty crazy. It was one of those places out of Apocalypta where they sacrificed warriors to the Gods (in this case the Decapitator; now that's a proper God, not like our touchy-feely, liberal Christian God), so that sated that South Anerican need. They're still archeologying it up and it's massive. And colourful. I reckon that in a few years it could be as big an attraction as Machu Picchu. We shall see.

Staying in Huanchacu at the mo. It's a beach town and it's well out of season. The last two night's we've had to knock on the door of the local nightclub to go drinking. It's amazing what you can get away with with Gringo Gold.

Since I've been here I've mainly been eating seafood. ceviche-tastic.

For the record, my favourite palindrome is "go hang a salami i'm a lasagna hog." Don't pretend you weren't wondering.
