You have sand where?!?!

---

After returning from the Nazca lines the three of us decided to go sandsurfing in the nearby dunes. The sand dunes in this area are considered the largest in the world. This was the most fun EVER! Sandboarding standing up proved a bit too tough for me so I opted for the laying down kind. I ate SO MUCH DIRT! And there was sand in every where possible, but WHAT A DAY! I can not even imagine where else we could have done this. We also drove through some ancient burial areas -- they are everywhere out here. There were remains from the Nazca period (500-700A.D.) including bones, cloth and even HAIR! All preserved by the conditions of the desert.

I will be sleeping on an overnight bus tonight as I head back to Lima. My flight is tomorrow night at 11pm. I am thinking that I will take a city tour of Lima tomorrow and then do some souvenier shopping before heading to the airport. I can not believe this trip is almost over. Ciao!
