Ancon, Perú

The desert blooms from seasonal fog.
John Matson met us on the Panamericana Highway today. John was my neighbor 46 years ago on South Street in Amery, WI. He now lives in Lima with his 91 year-old mother Ruth. We cycled through desert terrain and climbed a ridge where the fog condensed, greening the sand, allowing wildflowers to bloom. Julie got a flat tire late in the afternoon, then we climbed higher into thicker fog and ran out of daylight. Julie got a lift from John for the last 15k as I coasted down to this seaside town in fading light.
