Arequipa, the White city

---

we arrived in arequipa, peru{s second largest city, on gwbs inauguration day. just to let all of you know, he is a total douchebag and is a terrible representative for our country. those who believe the contrary are simply wrong. now, to continue, arequipa is a beautiful city. the plaza de armas is one of the prettiest central squares i have ever seen in my life. all the buildings are made of this white volcanic stone that was spit out by the [el misti[ volcano which towers over the town. we found a cool little hostel, hostal nuñez, for 20 soles per person. there we had the joy of watching gwbs spectacular oratory on cable. in the city itself we didn{t do much besides walk aaround, look at hot college girls, drink too many tequilas and beers, and visit the big monastery(sp?). the monastery was very interesting. these nuns were holed up in there their entire lives and spent it sewing, painting, and taking care of orphans. i{m sure this sounds fascinating to you all. well, it had some interesting architecture and was worth the trip.

this city seems markedly more wealthy than the otehr places we have seen in peru. surprisingly, though, we have yet to see a mercedes benz. almost all the vehicles in the city are taxis which are daewoo ticos. in case you are not familiaar with the tico, it is like a smaller version of the geo metro. they are everywhere here.

Inca Kola, nectar of the gods
It smells like bubblegum and tastes like heaven.

Jose, loco
This is the man that Inca Kola turns me into.

I win
The cap says I win a free inca kola. unfortunately, nobody in their right mind in Peru will willingly accept it.

Batida Maker
This lady whipped us up some fruit smoothies that were the best i have ever had.

Chrissy, enjoying the batida
Banana and strawberry batidas are better than crack.

Skinned Cow{s head
Ahh, third world markets.

Pair of Bulls heads with Spinal cords extending
God this makes me hungry.

Puppies, 5 soles
Yes, thats right, you can have yourself a good old fashioned legal texas dog fuckin for only $1.50.

Wondering What to do in Arequipa
Its just nice chillin in the plaza de armas despite the hordes of people.

Foozball
We enjoyed many a drunken hour on the roof of our hostel playing foozball. we sure know how to take advantage of our time in arequipa.

Soup
Yes, thats a chicken foot in my mouth.

Sogay water
When youre so thirsty, its gotta be sogay.

El Misti Volcano
This big sumbitch towers over Arequipa. Maybe the town can become the next Pompeii, a time capsule we can give to the future.

Red walls in the Monastery
It was quaint, really.

Bakery in the Monastery
Damn was that some ghetto ass bread.

Jesus being circumcised
I find this hilarious.
