Action Packed Weekend!

---

Don't feel like writing much today, so I'm gonna make this short and sweet. We weren't sure if we'd have enough time to do everything we wanted before heading up to the city of Lima, so Homer and I flew over the Nasca Lines early in the morning, then afterwards took the bus to Huacachina where we sand boarded in the afternoon. Action packed! Had a great time!

Summary of The Towns

Nasca: Flew over the town of Nasca in a Cessna plane in order to view the Nasca Lines. Do you know what those are? They are figures designed on the Earth's surface, but can only be viewed from a plane or from space. No one really knows who built them or why, but some think they are related to astronomy. Others think they were made for aliens. Amazing to see. The pilot kept moving the plane left and right to show us the figures. I almost puked. It was too early in the morning for me to feel the g-forces. Great views though. I left the plane all sweaty and nauseated.

Huacachina: Sand boarded on huge sand dunes. Rode in a dunebuggy. It was similar to snow boarding, except that your board sometimes sinks in the sand and it's hard to get a good start. We rocked those dunes!

Paracas: Woke up in the early morning again. Rode in a boat to a reserve where we saw several species of birds and sea lions. Also really cool to see. We could almost reach out and touch the sea lions.

Lima: Arrived in Lima in the afternoon. It is a big city with a good vibe. I really dig this city. People here are laid back and friendly. Wouldn't mind living here.

Hope you enjoy my pics.
