Trujillo [Perú]

I arrived to Trujillo mid-afternoon.  I'm quite excited to take a shower and nap after several days of pushing through the desert.

I cycle into the center of town and find a reasonably priced hotel, but the room in on the seventh floor.  I take the room and start lugging my heavy bike and gear up the narrow stairs.

I take a wonderful shower, the first in several days.  Even though it's only lukewarm, it feels amazing.  While showering, I wash my two changes of bike clothes and set them out to dry.

I've been told there's some interesting ruins outside of town.  I'm exhausted and decide to take a nap before exploring any more.

After a nap, I jump on the bike (always a little weird to ride around without all the gear) and quickly cycle to 10 km to the ruins of Chan Chan.  I arrive to find the ruins closed for the day.  But, I can't resist trying to enter... I start cycling through the massive complex in the desert as the sun sets.
