Ringing the Sunday evening bell in Huanchaco, Peru
On my last day in Huanchaco, Peru I decided to take my typical sunset stroll around town to snap some picks and enjoy the cool evening breeze. There was a small church that sat back above the city, so I cruised up to get a better view of the ocean below.

I was walking around the beautiful old Spanish-style church when a voice from above yelled down (in Spanish) “Hey, would you like to come up here”? At first I thought oh man not yet, but when I looked up there was an old man with his head poking out the church bell tower waving me to climb the stairs and join him for a better view.

I looked around to confirm he was talking to me and then I shot up the small, dark stairwell with excitement.
We talked about life in the US and Peru as he rang the bell and I watched the sunset.

It was one of those little unexpected surprises that make me stop and appreciate my life and this world.
Enjoy the photos, enjoy the weekend!
Gorgeous set of pictures – I especially love the first one with the silhouetting. Peru is high on my want-to-visit list.
