Friday was spent in the Plaza de Armas of Ica and a few wineries. We started out by seeking out tejas near the plaza. Tejas are a type of candy that have a chocolate or cream coating with a filling of pecans or anything they want to fill them with. I got creamy pecan ones. When our bus arrived we went out to the Tacama winery, which is famous throughout Peru for it's wines and piscos. There were some horses there and a grape nursery. The fields were huge. After we visited another, smaller winery, we went back to the plaza for fries and ice cream. We ended up having to wait for a while and made our own fun.
The huge wineries. I was reminded of St. James!
"The sale of alcohol to minors is prohibited." Everyone ended up buying something though.
My pecan ice cream with Addie.
'making our own fun.' In the plaza.
On Saturday, we all took a couple hours in a bus to get to Nazca for a day of fun. 5 of us took the plane tour over the lines while the others took tours around the city. We had to wait a while in the airport for the plane. We were all so excited for the flight!! The lines are actually much smaller from the air than I thought. The flight was supposed to be about 35 minutes long.
Our tiny plane!
Everyone getting excited for take-off.
Little did I know...
While we were up in the air the plane was taking circles around the lines and I got super airsick. I actually threw up. But when one of the girls actually passed out, I realized I was lucky. I did get some awesome pictures of the lines though.
The astronaut.
The parrot.
One of the birds.
We had a great time in Nazca that day!!
