Nazca [Perú]

After a week of rolling through the desert, I realized that I've cycled right into the famous Nazca lines.  What to do?!?!?  I take a few stops to appreciate these ancient and mysterious designs.

Upon arriving to Nazca, I'm exhuasted.  I've cycled over 500 kilometers (300 miles) since leaving Lima, four days.  Even more importantly, I have some massive climbing to do to reach Cusco... I have to cross several Andean mountain ranges, and I have a time-line.  But first, I need a rest day, my first in two weeks.

So, I start to rest doing the most natural thing possible... I find a pizzeria and order a massive "family-size" pizza.  The waitress looks at me strangely as she questions whether it's all for me.  I laugh...

"Don't worry," I tell her.  "I'll be able to eat it."

"Are you sure?" she questions again.

I just wink and ask for an ice cream also.
