These are a last few pictures from our last stop of our trip. We went through Nasca to fly over the Nasca lines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_Lines) and then on to Ica. In Ica, Sara and Elvia met us at the bus station and took us to stay with the Ramos family. They were so kind and had rooms with welcoming signs waiting for us. Carolina and Brenda went out to the Ballestas Islands with us, (http://www.go2peru.com/gal_ballestas.htm), one of our best tours, and then we went will everyone to Huancayo--an oasis in the middle of the desert.
btw, small airplane rides that bank to the left and right a lot=roller coaster rides=rolling stomachs.
Nasca lines--on the right is part of the hummingbird. Lots of other unidentified lines.

The pelicans were trained. Boys on the beach would feed them for money. This was the closest we have ever been to pelicans. 
Volcanic Island. Thousands/Millions of birds lived on these protected islands. The tops of these islands are unnaturally a whitish/yellowish color due to the guano (bird poop). Every four years the guano is harvested and is worth $70/barrel.
Can you see the face on the right side of the arch? 
The Cathedral, in the Paracas National Park

That "Cathedral" picture is awesome. Ryan had to be thinking "I bet I could climb that"......
