Arequipa Photo Post

Evidence we are tiny travelers
Sorry, Matthew. No wine for you.
This urn, like many others that can be seen throughout the city, was made in the fifteenth century and was used to hold aproximately 500 liters of wine. Strange fact: this one was empty except for a Buckeye. Why? We have no idea.














Evidence we are giant travelers
Actually, this is what coffee comes in. You add ground coffee to a mug full of steamed milk and it´s ready to drink.














More giant evidence
You should see him on a combi. When we get off, it´s like exiting a clown car.














Jesuit Courtyard
Now, the area is used for shops that sell baby-alpaca fur items. Try to spot Sara in this photo, it´s like Where´s Waldo, minus that red and white shirt.














An old Arequipa street
Most of the buildings here look like this.

  3. Mom, no I am not wearing pink (that´d be Matthew today, thank you)...

    Erin, yes, you are right. You win a free Peruvian pebble, to be delivered upon our return to the states. Congratulations and good eye.

    -Sara
