Some more Pics from Peru
Running a little behind in keeping the pics up to date. I´m currently in Buenos Aires right now. Here for a few more days, then heading to Chile. This city makes it difficult to get anything done. These are some pics that I took at a wine tour in Ica, and from the Nasca Lines.
The wine tour turned out more to be a ´Pisco´ tour. Pisco is the local hard liquor that everybody loves down here in Peru. It´s kind of like the Italian Grappa, but not quite as harsh. The most popular drink that it is served as is the infamous Pisco Sour (well, infamous down here anyway). It´s served with egg whites. We went on the tour with a giant group of older tourists from Canada and U.S. I was chatting them up the whole time and my friends got a kick out of how much the whole group loved me. Most of the backpackers that I meet are pretty in shock when they find out that I´m and ex-banker and the son of a cabinet minister....ha!
The Nasca Lines are some ancient carvings that were done in the deserts of Peru. There is lots of speculation on what the purpose of the carvings was, but nonetheless, that have remained pretty much intact. The best way to see them was by plane, so for 50 bucks a head, me, Abi, Tahnee and Sean rented a Cesna. To tell you the truth, the lines were pretty anticlimatic however, the plane was pretty damn cool. I got a little bit of motion sickness, but not quite as bad as poor little Tahnee. The pics are rather boring, but hey, what can you do.
