non stop traveling here in peru, and i'm exhausted. yesterday, as mentioned, i went to the pyramid archeological finds in caral and another place i forgot its name. both have only recently been discovered within the last 10-15 years and they are more archeological digs than full pyramids as of yet. they were simply found underneath the hills that are out in the desert as people started digging. also a very tiring trip though because i arrived in lima around 1am monday morning, went to bed at 2am, and we left for the trip to caral at 6am. then the trip was 3 hours there, a few hours traveling around, and then we returned to lima around 6pm. had dinner, went around the city of lima at night a bit, and finally got to bed very late last night. so with that, i slept in today and only did one major activity which was to go into central lima and see the church of san francisco which has underground catacombs. unfortunately they do not allow pictures in the church at all! so i can't show you my own photos, but i have a few postcards, but it's not the same. no pictures! bleh.

now i am going to bed early because in the morning tomorrow, at 3:30am, i am going to catch a bus for a 7-hour bus trip to nazca to fly over and see the nazca lines. then when that is over, i will take another 7-hour bus trip back to lima and return to my hotel around 11pm. then, on top of that, on thursday, i am also leaving around 3:30am to catch my flight to cusco. i hopefully will sleep in cusco thursday upon arrival! i am going to be so sleepy. my trip to machu picchu is friday and saturday and i'll have time to relax over those days. i return to lima on sunday for one last day... too short a trip and too much to do. i'll post pictures later when i have more time.
