Arequipa is a crowded, dry city consisting of very old buildings. Every street is jammed with tiny cabs.
This is the arched walkway that goes past the main plaza -- the plaza is off to the right.
All the buildings are large, stone and ornate -- and plenty of churches.
Exchanged money. A dollar is worth about 2.8 sols.
Made my first drug purchase!
Visited a market. One big building with different vendors inside. To be truthful -- pretty much just like a California flea market.
There were a lot of potatoes!
People preparing potatoes.
Some kind of squash -- which was tasty, I had it in soup for lunch.
OK -- next stop lunch.
