Day 35

Here I am at the airport in Nasca, awaiting to board the airplane. I'm wearing an Indiana University shirt. [[Special shout out to my favorite twins, Corey and Gregg Allen]]

We had to wake up at 4:30 am this morning, and if you have read my previous entry, you already know that I overslept.

After my quick scramble for the bus, the ride was 9 hours long.

We stopped once to get gas and to stretch our legs. 

It was quite the ride.

I slept for most of the ride, but the few times that I woke up, I looked out the window and saw the beautiful Pacific coastline.

Our destination was the city of Nasca.

Nasca has an airport that has a lot of small airplanes that enable passengers to view ancient desert drawings.

The drawings are said to be created by a pre-Incan civilization somewhere around 800 B.C.

COOL!

Here I am with Estefania, Nichole and Yaritza about to board our 4-passenger plane.

Here I am in the pilot seat. Don't be alarmed, I didn't fly the plane.

When we were about to board the plane, my friend Nichole asked one of the pilots if it was scarier to sit in the back of the middle of the plane.

He responded with, "I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know, I never sit in either of those spots; I am always flying the plane."

Here is the pilot asking us if we are ready for take-off.

I know this may be hard to see, but here is a picture of the humming bird from my aerial view.

Here is a picture of a comforting sign on the airplane.

Overall, the flight lasted for roughly half an hour. 

There were 12 main images for us to see. 

The coolest design, to me, was the monkey.

Sorry I don't have a picture of it.

After the flights, we got back on the bus to take a 20 minute ride to our hotel.

At 7 o'clock, we all went to our final group dinner.

What was on the menu?

Pisco sour

Vegetable soup

Pasta with alfredo sauce

Apple pie or ice cream

That's all for now folks. 

6 am breakfast, followed by a 6:30 am departure for one of our final adventures tomorrow...

Sandboarding.

Hasta luego mis amores!
