7:15AM I think I got away with one. I slept deeply for a long time. It has been so warm I was dreaming instead of waking up from the cold.
7:30AM I chose Fernando's home because the driver said it was closer. I took his taxi for 8 PENs. He wanted 10 but it said on the board 8 PENs for Cayma Square. Later I found it was further compared to David's home. I almost didn't find Fernando's because the numbers got bigger and smaller again. I took a shower at his home and left for the city.
8AM The town is quite pleasant. I took the taxi for 2 PENs to A Carmen Alto. I had a fill up Sprite for just 0.5 PENs. I noticed a lot of restaurants that had adobo or rocoto relleno at Yanahuara. Soon I realized my camera is showing spots on pictures. In addition, I think my charger is done. I had 2 ice cream scoops for 5 PENs at Ice Palace. Later, I had a cake that wasn't too good for 4 PENs. The camera battery was being charged at a camera service shop until it was full so we can look at the sensor.
5PM I returned to Fernando's but found that they closed the restaurants in the afternoon. I took a cab (2 PENs) to Sol de Mayo. The stuffed pepper was decent for 18 PENs.
7PM I retrieved my battery from the old camera service man and left him a card. I took a cab (5 PENs) to the bus station and bought a ticket that left at 7:30PM for 40 PENs.
I was fortunate to be in this moment of the 472th founding anniversary of the city. The name Arequipa derives from a quechua phrase, “Arequipai” which means, “Yes, stay here”. I snapped this shot of a dancer. Undoubtedly, their welcoming smile will convince another traveler to pay visit.
