Arequipa is a nice city. The plaza is one of the countries prettiest, and there is a nice feel to the whole town.
Monday I got in, and kind of walked around. I saw a museum which housed a mummy from the Inca empire that is in very good condition, and that was cool. I then spent the rest of the day shopping for a bag to send to Jake for helping me. I was incredibly tiered, as I did not sleep Sunday night on the bus from Lima. I really hate night buses, but they are just so convenient, that it is hard not to do them.
Today I saw the Monastery of Saint Catalina, which was spectacular!!!! I think besides Kuelap this was the most impressive single sight I have seen. It was a giant city! It housed hundreds of nuns in its day, and was clearly the crown jewel of the city during the Spanish rule. No more needs to be said about this spectacular world gem.
I head off tonight on an overnight bus to Cuzco, which will be awful, but I am doing it anyways. Cuzco should be good, so I am planning more time there than other stops.
