Arequipa


Wednesday, May 4
We arrived in Arequipa, Peru at about 11 am.  It’s a beautiful town surrounded by mountains filled with well-preserved Spanish architecture.  We went to the town center which is the historical part of the city.  We had a nice lunch and enjoyed seeing the town and taking a break from our long bus rides before leaving that evening at 9 for Cusco.

Llegamos a Arequipa, Peru alrededor de las 11 de la mañana.  Arequipa es un pueblo hermoso rodeado por montañas y lleno de edificios construidos del estilo española antiguo.  Fuimos al centro del pueblo que es la parte más histórica.  Comimos allá, caminamos por el centro, y descansamos un poquito antes de irnos para Cusco a las 9 de la noche.

  1. You guys look peaceful. Continuing to pray for peace, unity for the team, and a strong sense of purpose. You are oaks of righteousness (Isaiah 61)! The cathedral and the mountains at sunset, WOW. Nothing like Houston. Hats off to the photographers.
