Nazca!

Hey everyone!

Well, the big trip has finally begun and we are having a blast! Heather and I got into Lima and stayed there until Friday morning, picking up her friends from the airport along the way-we went out for pizza on Thanksgiving (a first for me haha!) and Friday morning we hopped on a 6:30 am bus to Nazca.

Yesterday, we took a tour of some beautiful stone-terraced aqueducts, a cemetery and a pyramid excavation which were all really cool, and today in the morning we took a plane up to see some of the Nazca lines, which were so cool! When I can I'll post some pictures- Nazca is on the southern coast so it's pretty hot and desert-like- there was this huge river that dried up 10 years ago, which was cool to see from the plane, but there is still a lot of green- I guess the trees' roots can dig down far enough to reach the water table, so it looks like an oasis of trees among desert and mountains. Anyway, I'll keep you posted as we go along!

Love,
Rach :)
