This is the Plaza de Armas in the center of Arequipa, which is much bigger than these photos display. Took a tourist stroll this afternoon and bought post cards / souvenirs, so if you’re in the states and wondering where your present is, I’m getting ready to make a post office trip in a couple weeks. 

Oh and the elephant was one of many paintings in a restaurant called Mamut that serves sandwiches. I could barely contain myself, I have missed sandwiches so much. Lunch this afternoon was, to say the least, perfect. Despite all the sun in Peru these days, I just seem to keep burning. Maybe after a couple months my body will quit fighting the sun and consent to tan, high hopes…
