Arequipa.... Again.



So off we went twelve hours by bus, bound for Arequipa... again. This bus might I add, was a sweatbox from hell. They apperently didn´t know how to control the heaters. ANYWAY, Logisticly it is a whole lot easier than taking a direct route back to Lima to get the next connection to Moncora. Besides we knew people there so why not hang out a bit?

We only planned on staying one night. One night turned into two and eventualy five. I heard it was a cool city and had only spent the one night previous to Cusco there. After spending a night partying in that city and realizing that the most beautiful people of Peru live in Arequipa, we all decided to stay a little while.

Arequipa has a pretty good nightlife that we enjoyed every night without fail, and is not an expecive place in general, which is always a good thing. One day we even went horseback riding for around $5 for an hour which I am sure wouldn´t happen in the US. Mike´s horse was quite the crab ass and tried to buck him off half the time. Otherwise it was a blast and we jst went out in the country side for a while. For the last half of a mile or so we did a full on gallop back to the ranch. Good times.

We spent the rest of the time hanging out with new and old friends and enjoyed our time there as much as rock stars would.

After we had our fill of Arequipa... again, we grabbed a bus(14Hrs) to Lima... again and spend two hours there before getting on the next (14Hr) bus to Moncora.
