Lima

I hadn't heard great things about Lima, but I got bored in Ica and decided to leave a day early. Sandboarding really wasn't that great, and it certainly didn't help that the equipment was terrible. Turning was impossible due to the lack of an edge and proper heel support. As advertised the buggy ride leading up to the sandboarding was insane. I took a short video, but I'm not sure how it came out.

Prior to Ica, I went up in a plane to see the Nazca lines which are huge even from the plane. I took pictures, which I'll post on facebook. This ride was not for those who get motion sickness. The pilot was diving and circling the lines at high speeds such that I was dizzy and had a headache by the end.

Since arriving in Lima last night, I did a little shopping in some of the markets and gave surfing a try this afternoon. Man is that hard and cold. September is still considered the winter months in Peru so I wore a full wet suit. I can't quite stand up yet given the 1 hour lesson I received in extremely poor English. However, I plan on going back tomorrow before I leave for another try. Where else can I surf for 2 hours for under $20?
