Traveling through Peru

I’ve been making some serious time while traveling through Peru. We drove for 4 days straight from Lima to Cuzco. It is a very long but incredibly scenic ride.

There were these chicken houses all over the side of the desert next to the Pacific. I was so amused by them that I even have a video posted on youtube:

Look at all those chickens!!!!

My bike did well in the desert.

dunes… dunes!!!

I met a canadian pair of snowboarders who’s skills translated well on the dunes.

I’ve always wanted to run down a sand dune. So I did it and I got a little bit of sand in my shoes.

Don’t mess with the Germans.

ARGH.. I can’t remember their name. But they’re really cool and here is their pic in the dunes. Please email me with your name so I can fix this post! That and send you the clips of ya’ll coming down the dunes.

Nasca Tower. Wow. And by Wow, I mean that in the most sarcastic wow as possible. While I didn’t want to fly in the old/overweighted single prop cesnas to do a fly over, we did climb the tower for 1 sole. It was… kinda cool? maybe a little. My favorite part was talking to the bicyclists who were there also. You can see their bicycles in front of the tower. They were from Spain and France and were cycling for 6 or 7 months.
