Sobrevuelo de Las Líneas Nasca...impresionante!

We peeled ourselves out of bed this morning and headed out to the local airport in Nazca to see if we could negotiate prices and get tickets...we got them for $80 each! But the fog was too thick so we waited a little over an hour before we could take-off. We were sure not to eat breakfast this morning, as the pilots bank sharply so that we can get a better view of the lines. I'm happy to announce that there were no barf incidents on our flight :)

We stopped in town for some lunch and then headed to Museo Antonini to check out the collection of arts from Cahuachi. Nasca has many memorials dedicated to Maria Reiche, a German mathematician who stumbled upon Nasca and had dedicated her life to documenting and theorizing about the Nasca lines.
