Ana_Sand Boarding in Huacachina!

AWESOME! I loved riding the dune buggy. I liked it so much better than I thought. The ride was awesome. It was like riding a rollercoaster, but better, smoother. The dunes were huge. Our first stop was at a small dune to try sand boarding. Yeah, right! It was way too big for me. The fact there were like 40 of us trying to sand board on small dune was crazy. So I saw another girl sliding on her belly so that’s what I did. I still was a little nervous; I know you can call me CHICKEN. I waited until the end to slide. It was very fast. The good thing you had more control to stop by dragging your feet.
Tim did great. He was able to go down no problem. He went down like two times. It was cool to be the spectator.

We were off to the next dune, bigger, this was a medium dune. It was huge to me. No way Jose I was going down even in my belly. I decided I was just going to take photos of Tim. I’m glad I did. This time when you finished riding the dune they’d pick you up in the buggy. I tried sliding on my belly I was to CHICKEN to do it. As soon as I’d placed myself on the board I started sliding so I decided I’d walk down instead. Right when I was walking one guy ate it pretty bad. I heard something cracked. No good! He wasn’t getting up. Tim was nearby so he went to help him. It took a while for people to react. They thought he was OK! People fall and roll all the time. But this time he was hurting. Tim said he hurt his collar bone. OUCH! Poor thing they took him to the hospital in Ica. We were kinda serious after, it took a little while for people to start trying it again. But sure enough they started. Tim was one of them. He started sand boarding again. He did it like three more times after the incident. After the buggy returned from dropping the guy off, we went to the bigger dune. WOW it was huge! The people at the bottom looked like tiny ants. Tim was going to try it. Here I was being the photographer. I was able to get a QuickTime of him going down. He did great! No broken bones. He was so excited!

On the way back to the oasis we hit some more steep hills. SO MUCH FUN! We kept screaming and asking for more. The driver liked it that we were having fun. Great times!
much better than I thought.
