Here in Chincha, Peru, we have 13 beautiful people sleeping under a cloth ceiling within four walls with windows that have no real covering, just bars. Because of this, there tends to be a lot of noise. So below is a list of the top 11 things that wake me up in the middle of the night.
11. Having to pee
10. People talking
9. Hearing a mosiquito buzzing in my ear.
8. A few teammates watching Duck Dynasty.
7. Motos driving by blarring their music
6. Getting too hot to sleep
5. Hearing people roll over on their sleeping pads
4. Traffic
3. Fighting Dogs
2. Barking Dogs
And the #1 thing that gets me awake every morning is….
1. The Papas lady who walks by every morning around 5:30 or 6 selling her homemade papas (potatoe) products. And by selling, I mean shouting the name of whatever she is selling over and over again.
The race has taught me how to sleep through anything but that lady gets me every time she comes by!
