A few weeks ago I took an overnight bus from Ica to Arequipa.
Here´s the main plaza and the church. Pretty much every city in Peru has a main plaza with a big huge church.

Along the way to the canyon we stopped to look at vicuñas, which are an animal related to llamas and alpacas.

I took a great picture with a local woman, a llama, and an eagle on my head.

I went on a really cool tour to Colca Canyon. It´s an amazing Canyon a little outside of Arequipa. The canyon is even deeper than the Grand Canyon.
Along the way to the canyon we stopped to look at vicuñas, which are an animal related to llamas and alpacas.
The whole area around the canyon was absolutely incredibly beautiful.

Hope you're feeling better, Amandita. I miss you, too! Whenever I hear birds chirp, I think of you now, sort of like the movie "It's a Wonderful Life," except tangible :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Definitely gorgeous scenery!
ReplyDeleteSome of your pictures are off center or over-lapping though....but i'm not complaining, just had to look at the enlarged version of them! heeheehee
I'm obsessed with the picture of you with the tiny llama and bird on your head. sweet. Is that a baby llama?
