View from the kitchen. Arequipa keeps going and going past the roofs. Took a stroll last night and with 11 soles ($4) I bought 9 eggs,1 mango, 1 apple, 1 tomato, 1 onion, and a bag of chips. For $1.50 this morning I had coffee and a pastry. I don’t think I’m going to miss the states. Weather reminds me a lot of an early morning in California. Cool, mild breeze, a bit of sun / clouds and no humidity. Plan for the day: To not get lost in the ever-winding streets and cobblestone alleys of this city. 

Oh, and since it’s such a prominent holiday, Happy Groundhog day from Peru!
