Lauren, Dave and I had yet another incredibly long day in a bus but this time we were traveling away from the frozen city of Puno to a place where the sun shines, Arequipa. We found a cute hostel where we had our own massive room with four beds. We ate dinner at a place called Fez where we stuffed our faces with delish flafel wraps then did a thorough search of the city until we found a suitable ice cream parlor for some dessert. This city is loaded with cake (torta) shops and ice cream vendors but being the typical Americans that we are we sought out one that had a mild regard for cleanliness, i.e one that didn´t re-use their sample spoons... Quick trip to the store for some wine and snacks then retired for an evening of pleasant chit-chat and a movie in English (Public Enemy) in a room that so reminded me of a comfy living room that it nearly made me teary. Great mellow night. The perfect way to say goodbye to Lauren and Dave before their LONG journey to Ecuador!
Dave and Lauren´s bus didn´t leave until the evening so that gave us a few free hours to explore the lovely city of Arequipa and even pay a visit to the acclaimed ¨Juanita, the Ice Princess,¨ the mummified remains of a child sacrificed over 500 years ago!
