this afternoon, tali and i went to el museo larco. it was all ancient ceramics and a temporary exhibit on ancient gold and jewelry. the museum's main attraction, however, has to be the two rooms of x-rated pottery that it houses. buenos días!

come thursday morning tali and i will be leaving the lima gray behind for the wildlife reserves at las islas ballestas and paracas, where i hope to see penguins, sea lions, and flamingos. from there, we'll go to the desert cities of huacachina and nazca. nazca is famous for these mysterious lines that were drawn in the desert centuries ago. the polemic regarding where these lines came from and who constructed them still continues today. in order to fully capture the figures that the lines come together to create, you're supposed to fly over them in a mini-plane.
