    Danielle didn't like it but I managed to talk her into getting within spitting distance. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[373]
         		 Town of Maca had the most interesting statue in the plaza. We weren't sure what to make of it. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[585]
         		 With a wing span up to 9 feet you can hear the wind when they soar over you. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[544]
         		 Name of a bar in Huacachina.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[322]
         		 Huacachina actually had a real oasis in the middle of the desert. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[320]
     
    Visited a pisco distillery in Ica, Peru called El Catador that still makes it the old fashioned way. Here is the area where the grapes are stomped with bare feet.then pressed. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[401]
         		 Typical storage container for pisco called a botija. The origin of the name pisco came from the word Quechua. Translated to English it means bird and the body of this bird looks very similar to the botija. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[401]
         		 To ferment the pisco it was poured into a giant vat, sealed with plaster then boiled using a wood oven. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[305]
         		 On the way to Arequipa our bus made a stop along the Pan American Highway to view the Nazca Lines. There was a tower you could climb that offered views of
     
     
    Basilica Catherdral located in the city of Arequipa. As with most buildings in the area the cathedral was built using white petrified lava giving the city the name
         		 Had a nice lunch in the Plaza de Armas where the cathedral is located and a volcano is in the back yard. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[539]
         		 Basilica Cathedral is very pretty in the evening. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[624]
         		 We heard Little Mermaids
         		 For obvious reasons you're not allowed to set foot beyond the barb wire fence but here is a close up of the lines. They are only about 6 inches deep and I would say about a foot wide and in remarkable condition considering they were created 2,500 years ago. The dry stable climate is said to naturally preserve the lines. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[649]
     
    After playing in the dunes we headed back to the safety of our hostel. Pretty nice view with the exception of the old man in a Speedo. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[350]
         		 After a long day of dunebuggying and sandboarding we parked and enjoyed the sunset then climbed on board for 10 more minutes of the most terrifying ride back to the hostel. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[506]
         		 Sandboarding the dunes was lots of fun. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[440]
         		 Danielle zooming down the dune!: by danidawnandstevo, Views[422]
         		 View back from the lookout point. Fun fact: In the second half of the nineteenth century this area also was the location of what was called the
     
    Great lookout point where the ocean meets the desert. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[378]
         		 What's funnier than one pelican in a boat? Three pelicans in a boat. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[302]
         		 We spent the night in a fishing town called Paracas. Being the beach snobs that we are we didn't go into the water. It was very cold and full of seaweed. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[387]
         		 The church suffered some serious damage to the roof from a earthquake in 2007. Its now made of wood instead of brick. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[333]
         		 We arrived in a little town called Huacachina to dune buggy and sandboard. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[454]
     
    Hacienda San Jose also included a church. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[296]
         		 What was more interesting about hacienda San Jose was the slave tunnels underneath the house. They were used as either punish rooms where the slaves were sent if they tried to escape or used as an escape for the slave owner in the event the slaves attempted to revolt. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[515]
         		 We stopped in to visit hacienda San Jose. With the use of slaves this area produced sugar and cotton. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[312]
         		 Two of our most terrifying experiences have came at the hands of Peru. First was the suicide mission taxi ride from the airport to hostel. Second was the dune buggy ride. Words can't explain how fast and treacherous this ride was. Even though we may look calm an happy in the picture, we were both still shaking. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[490]
         		 Off on our ten day tour on the hop on hop off bus. We hopped off and grabbed some lunch at a road side diner that made sandwiches or
     
    City of Lima, Peru lookout point. What we found more interesting than the great view of the city was the homes and people that enjoyed it. The rich have been trying to get their hands on this area for years but the poor being there first have rights to it. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[493]
         		 Modern day nomads. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[333]
         		 In Italy we learned cappuccino in the morning espresso in the evening. In Peru we learned ceviche in the afternoon never in the evening. Ceviche consists of raw fish, onions, spices and lemon juice. It's caught in the evening, sold at market in the morning and prepared fresh for lunch. It was so good I'm opening a ceviche restaurant when I get back to the states. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[320]
         		 Playa Roja named for the red lava sand beach. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[333]
