Nasca lines visit. Andy took the flight and I went to the viewing tower and mountain. That was a good decision- most people on his flight puked 🤢

To get to the canyon, me and cuz Andy took a shuttle that went over a 16,000ft Pass! And we saw a volcano erupting :)

Next I flew to Arequipa and met up with cousin Andy. Arequipa has a huge old monastery we walked around. And this city loves manger scenes. They were everywhere. We saw an anti corruption protest here. The day after the protest, the President had an impeachment vote scheduled due to corruption. It was expected that he would be impeached, but he wasn’t. Just a few days later on our last day in Peru, the president pardoned the former president from the opposition party. The former president was serving the rest of his life in jail for corruption and human rights abuses. It is expected the current president cut a deal with the opposition party so he would be impeached. There are more protests now.
