Chan Chan Ruins







A few days ago we went to the Chan Chan Ruins near Trujillo. The ruins are massive, 20 square kilometers. It's the largest Pre-Columbian South American city, built over a 1000 years ago. Also, it appears they had lots of cubby holes for their shoes and toys.

They had a lake on the inside of the city walls, which I thought was pretty rad, but I guess it's got to be common to have a water source in any fortrified city. Doesn't Brian look enormous in the second picture? Either he's always that enormous and I am just used to it, or he looks taller now that he's dropped an estimated 20 lbs.

The last picture is just so people can see how disgusting my feet look down here. It's impossible to keep them clean. All that is just from 2 or 3 hours to visit Chan Chan.
