The Nazca Lines

Took a bus from Ica to the little town of Nazca so that we could see the famous Nazca lines. We saw them through the windows of a tiny 6-seater airplane. Jeff almost puked. The lines were carved into the desert a really long time ago, when people moved aside darker stones to reveal ligther ground underneath. There are over 800 shapes, figures and lines. The ones below are very big and very mysterious and very well aligned with something astrological. If you want better information, look them up on wikipedia or something. jeez.
