Arequipa

Last night we took an overnight bus from Cusco to Arequipa. There was wifi on the bus which was pretty cool, too bad it wasn't working too well. Nikita and I ended up watching the movie, easy A. Then I tried to go to sleep. I could not for the life of me find a comfortable position. It was rather annoying. We finally arrived to Arequipa, though. We have a hotel for the day, breakfast included. I ate a huge breakfast and then took a quick shower, after that bus ride I needed it, if you know what I mean. Haha Then we went out on the town. Nikita, Neha, Sindu, Sarah, beth, Abbie, Catherine and I left to the plaza de armas, apparently that just means city center there was one in Cusco, too. We feed some pigeons and they started to sit on my shoulder even when I didn't have food in my hands. I felt like a pirate. Haha then we went into the main cathedral of Arequipa. It was really nice inside, very European. The whole city is was more European than Cusco. We toured the inside with a guide and went into the museum part. I got to take pictures of inside the church but not the museum, the museum had all the gold and silver stuff. We also got to go on the top of the roof and look at all of Arequipa. Afterwards we decided to go out for lunch. A couple of the girls decided to go somewhere more expensive than I wanted. Sindu, Neha and I decided to go walk around and look at another cathedral. We didn't go inside though since we had to pay. We ended up eating at a nice sandwich shop. All of us met back up after eating and went to a gelato place. I got both caramel and mint chocolate. We walked back to the hotel and hung out for a while. Now we have to get ready to get on our overnight bus to Lima. This one will take 15 hours, going to die.
