Day 3. The lines!!!!!

Today was for the Nasca lines.

But, before we go to the lines…. I must test the Coriolis theory that water swirls in a different direction as it goes down a drain.
Hmm…. It didn’t really swirl. Kind of just jiggled down. Will keep testing with different sinks and toilets.

Note that I am starting my day clean of sand and ready for a flight.

This is our plane. I understand that it will gently roll back and forth so each side can see the lines and some can use the “bags”…also a before picture….

And here are some of the amazing lines…. And a cheat sheet with the names.

The first picture is of Nasca lines currently being made next to the ancient ones. I liked the juxtaposition of old and new man made lines.

There is always a reason it seems to make lines. And both are impressive in their own way.

To give you some perspective, the astronaut is 32 meters high. That is the approximate height of a 10 story building. Wow.

At the end of the day we we were exhilarated and had wind blown faces but a gorgeous drive along the coast! See you tomorrow.Read more
