Arequipa..Soooooo Nice

It's hard to think that Jane and I are starting our final push into the last three weeks of our travels together. We arrived into Arequipa and checked into Hostel Nunez where we met up with Jon and Molly B again. It was good seeing the two again and they gave us some good tips for viewing the city. Arequipa is the second largest city in Peru, but it is much smaller in comparison. The Plaza de Armas is nice and very picturesque during the sunset. In the city we visited the Monastaerio de Santa Catalina and the Museo Santurrios Andios (mummies). The Monastaerio de Santa Catalina has been well maintaned by a private investment group. The entire grounds are well kept and the guides were very helpful. Good coffee too! I snapped a ton of pictures trying to get that arty farty shot. We'll see how they turn out when I get home. Museo Santurrios Andios had mummy displays similar to the MAAM in Salta. Juanita was the mummy on display at the time of our tour. It is amazing that these childern were sacrificed at such high altitudes. The Incas made these treks in sandals and Alpaca jumpers! Jane and I would soon to find out how difficult these climbs would be in modern treking gear. It seems I'm still in a dream. Peru has been excellent so far.
