April 2022: "The Georges in Peru"

Arrived in La Punta!

Tuesday we decided to rent a house while we wait for the house we'd like to buy to get its paperwork updated.  A contact we made when we went to La Punta two weeks ago has a house to rent, so we took a YouTube video tour and told her we'd take it! (see below)

Wednesday morning we woke up a bit before 6 am and went out looking for gas.  The gas station two blocks from our house had gas and there was no line, so we filled our tank and went back home.  That was easy!  

No gas!

Currently, Peru is in the throes of a transportation strike.  Truck drivers and others who buy lots of fuel are protesting against the high price of petroleum products by blocking the roads.  I'll leave it up to you to explain how this is going to cause the price of a barrel of oil to go down!
