Leaving the mill museum — I decided to check out a cemetery that was kind of on the way back. I asked the taxi driver to stop a bit so I could have a look see. With no further ado:

It was nice of Arequipa to stage a Burning Man fireworks display for my last day visiting the town. I did not know how 'they' knew — but here are pictures of a fireworks display that I happened upon on my last full day in Arequipa:

| Yanahuara Fireworks Display |
It might be hard to see — this fireworks display is a giant bamboo man with several different fireworks fuses, the fuses were light one string at a time.

I didn't take a picture — but before this main man was lit there where little displays that were lit off. This were bamboo structures that when the fireworks were lit would spin, throw sparks, and fire a mortar off up into the sky. What is newsworthy is that these were held by young kids, maybe ten years old. The kids had as sweatshirt draped over their head and then held the fireworks above their head!

This was the last of my last full day in Peru. The next day would be chores, packing and such before a taxi to the airport in the early afternoon.
I think I will do maybe two more posts, one of all the different cars, truck and other vehicles I saw in Peru, and one of all the dogs and other pets.
Maybe I will finish tomorrow...
