It is Sunday July 7th. In just 1 more week we will be flying back to Tacoma. We are in Paracas, Peru, a cute little beach town 3 hours south of Lima. it has been so nice to slow down this weekend and build sand castles. yesterday morning we went to the Ballesta islands and saw Humbolt pinguins, arcillos birds and piqueros del mar or Peruvian Boobie birds. It was a fun boat trip. The sea lions of South America come up to these islands in the summer to have their pups. So we spent some time watching a few sea lions. I forget that not everyone has sea lions out their back doors.
Further south there are the Nasca Lines. Huge figures of animals, a hand, etc, in the sand. to really see them you have to go up in a small airplane. They aren’t sure when the lines were made or who made them. There is one we got to see on the way out the islands, they call it the candlabra.
This Afternoon we are going for an adventure ride out into the dunes. The kids are stoked.
