Don't Drink Water From the Tap and Don't Flush Toilet Paper Down the Toilet: 5/21

Today started very early again! We packed into vans and went to go and see the Nazca lines! The Nazca lines were created about 2000 years ago, and still exist today thanks to the fact that Peru rarely recieves rain. It is believed that the Nazca people drew these designs in the desert to speak to God. Seeing these designs in the sand was incredibly cool! We drove to about 3 different locations to see the different Nazca lines as well as to go and see the irrigation system of the Nazca people.
As well as seeing the Nazca lines, we visited a potter and a goldsmith in Nazca. The potter showed us how she and previous generations of her family have created all sorts of things with clay. Her shop had all sorts of cool pottery in it for sale, from windpipes, to bowls, to little statues, and much else. Down the street from the potter was the goldsmith who demonstrated to us his process for polishing gold and using it to make jewelry.
After those activities we ate a meal and headed back to the hotel. The Nazca lines took up most of the day, and we were all pretty tired by the time we got back to the hotel.
