For my 40th birthday in April my mother and I went to Peru. We flew into Nazca on one of the hottest days of our trip, crammed into a small plane with no AC. After we landed I got a good look at the airport tower. WOW, it was a hut on stilts. We got our tickets and saw a smaller plane land. Our guide came over to let us know that was the plane that was going to fly us over the Nazca lines. I know now what sardines feel like. There were 12 of us in the plane again with out AC. As we fly over to the lines we are informed that we will be doing wing spins so that every one can see the lines. It’s a good thing that I don’t get air sick (better yet no one else did either). It was amazing to see the lines. There is something special about them. I still have to wonder why they made them. How could they get the lines so straight? The images were close to perfect, yet to our knowledge they never saw them from the air.
