First days in Ica!

   Our first day in Ica, we arrived in the afternoon and went strait over to the dunes outside of the city. We took a tour of the dunes in a dune buggy for 6ish people. It was like a roller coaster just driving up and down the dunes. It was so crazy and a bit scary, but soooo fun! When we got to the right place, we picked out our sand boards and got started. Sandboarding sounded scary to me before, but it was really fun! Everyone did it on the 3 slopes that get bigger and bigger. I didn't bring my camera on the tour because the sand is so fine and it finds its way into electronics and ruins them. I did get some good pictures from the second day though. 
   I had such a great time the second day though when we went to Paracas. We took a boat out to the Ballesta islands where we got to see Humbolt Penguins and sea lions! The boat decided to hit some waves though and I ended up getting pretty soaked. I loved seeing the animals though. 
Johnny!

   We went to see a Reserve museum next and learned about the animals of the area and got to see some flamingos that were REALLY far. It's was a nice museum. We drove to Chincha that afternoon to eat at Mamaine's restuarant. It was very yummy!
