We were excited to finally get to Trujillo after 9 hours on the bus (all night long). Behind us is their main Plaza
These are the ruins of one of the Peruvian Wonders, called Huaca de la Luna and Huaca del Sol. It was truly amazing to see the artwork and intelligence put into this work by the Moche Indians.
This is part of the wall of the fourth temple (there were five, each one built over the other every 100 years). The temples are an inverted pyramid with each new temple bigger than the last, but the outside structure was in the shape of a regular pyramid as each 100 years the bottom layers grew to support the building.
The natural colors of each floor have been preserved over the years because they closed up the older temples by closely placing adobe bricks to the walls, filling in the whole area, and then building the next temple on top. You can see the layers from the third and fourth temples. 
This is looking at Huaca del Sol from inside Huaca de la Luna. It has yet to be excavated, but it's the bigger of the two.
We finally got to visit with Blanca's family the day before we left. It was great to see her dad's only remaining blood brother who reminds us a lot of him.

The long walls and their designs caught my eye everywhere we went.
This little lagoon was one of my favorite spots in the middle of the main part of Chan-Chan.
