a random tidbit...

We were riding along the coast of Peru yesterday, like we`ve been doing for too long now. HEADWINDS!!!! When, suddenly, we saw an odd sight. A woman and a boy got out of a taxi in the middle of nowhere. I mean, there was only sand, road and ocean. That was it. They headed out toward the water, and we saw that the boy was carrying something. Then we could tell that it was an animal. Then he set it down, and we realized that it was, unmistakably, a penguin. A penguin in the middle of the desert. It waddled about for a few steps until the boy scooped it up like a puppy, squishing it in the middle, and continued on, it´s little flippers flopping about. Seriously. This kid had a pet penguin.
