SOOOO much fun these past few days have been.
So to start sandboarding was a blast. Nili and I rented our boards and headed up the gigantic sand dunes. After walking for about an hour we reached the top. From up there we may have well have been in someplace like Egypt. Giant sand dunes surrounded us for as far as we could see. It was beautiful. At that point my dear friend Nili dropped her board which proceeded to fall down the entire dune. Rather than making her walk down the hill again we decided to share my board. First we waxed it for a good 5 minutes making sure it was super slippery. Then I sat on the front half and she sat in the back. We pushed off and started down the hill. After 10 seconds, and with our fat asses, we picked up ridiculous amounts of speed. We were both having a blast screaming our heads off when suddenly the front end of the board got caught in the sand. We both flipped in the air. Nili flipped over my head. When we finally landed we both had sand in every inch of our bodies. My nose, my ears, my mouth completely filled. We laid still for about 20 seconds, and then both burst into laughter. I imagine if anyone saw us it must have been quite a scene. Dont worry mom and dad, I was uninjured and had a blast. I officially love sandboarding.
Next day we left at 7 am to head to Nazca for the day. To make a very long story short we ended up flying over the Nazca lines in a 6 person place. It was really cool, a bit scary, and extremely vomiticious. The Nazca lines are much smaller than we imagined but still an awesome site.
SO then we killed the rest of the day in Nazca eating and being bums. We boarded a bus at 10 pm to head to Arequipa. The bus was the cheapest bus available, 10 hours long, and without a bathroom on board. I realized that these buses are the location of my flea bites. Ew
So here I am in Arequipa. Last night was Pippa's birthday. We made the decision to party like rockstars, drank way too much and were once again the stars of the dance club. The club was awesome, full of waterfalls and cool lighting. Despite a high etrance fee we got in free thanks to our feminine charm. I spent a while dancing with our greek friend who told me I was excellent at greek dancing. Ha. Then I met a Peruvian dude from California, quite a beautiful man I might add (my friends yelled at me for ''taking the hottest guy in the club'') who tried teaching me to salsa. Despite my lack of rythm its really great dancing with guys who can reallllllly dance. SO today we slept until 5 pm and then went to dinner. After this we will head to a juice bar and then maybe see a movie.
My life really is too easy these days. I feel slightly guilty for this but am trying to appreciate every minute.
Miss you all.
Nicole
