Arequipa
Saturday, January 28th, 2006Arequipa’s cathedral is made of white volcanic stone called sillar.
Our hotel’s terrace has a view of the cathedral and main plaza. We checked it out in the evening with our friend, Christos.
A special gastronomic treat in Peru is cuy, or guinea pig. We didn’t have any, but we saw some of the critters destined for someone’s tabletop.
As Christos and his ex-girlfriend would say as their mouths water, “Schmuckelputz!” (Yum in German.)
