Arequipa-where the hot Peruvians are at So after I finished blogging this afternoon, my dad and I decided to pick up and head on out to a movie theater here in Peru. We got there and most of the movies listed were movies we had already seen. They don't have some movies already released in the U.S. and they still have some old ones like 12 rounds and milk.

I know I skipped day 10, but father insisted upon blogging about that day because that day was just a 9 hour bus ride of which I slept most of the way through.

We left at about 6:30 with no time to eat the lovely meal in order to get on a bus that wasn´t ours. We rode it half way through the city before a lady on the bus ... read more

Aguas Calientes, Peru So we got up and arrived by train around 2pm. all is well, we had a fantastic breakfast. i had french toast with fresh fruit and juan had eggs and bacon again. the train ride was awesome. about 2 hours of scenic mountain views. clouds were touching the mountains. the hostal we are staying at now is much nicer than the one in ollanta. this one is about $20 usd per night. we are only staing one night. btw - someone tell pietchker and kayla that they don´t make you work at these hostals and they do have private bathrooms. you guys were taken advantage of because you were gringos. LOL... we went and got our passes to MP and juan´s international student id card saved us half. when we went to get ... read more
