At home again... today , my friends and I went to Conache dunes for sandboarding. Summer is starting and it's more dificult to walk on the sand.

Conache lake

Conache is a little town of Laredo (district of Trujillo), there is a lake here, a very quiet place, many families come to here for camping a weekend or just be here on sundays.

This lake is formed by an underground river, it's arounded by desert and farm lands, you can see many contrasts in Conache.

A "sweet" job

These men work in a sugar factory, they arrive at the field to clean the plants, it's no common to see them so early, many people seed sugar cane for selling to this entreprise... the factory is in Laredo (20 min from Trujillo), called "The Sweet City". When you drive near to the factory you can smell the sugar.

Strawberries on the road

Menocucho is a small town near to Trujillo, it's known for strawberries production. Some farmers sell this fruit on the road, people stop and buy fresh and cheap strawberries. One of these boxes (10Kg) is sold for 4.85 dollars.
