Ariquipa, Peru

Yes Ariquipa feels much more like my vibe. Much smaller and safer, but still over 1.5 million peruvians. Wow this place has a very westernized economy. Many wealthy people here, and the architecture is amazing. All the buildings are made from very pourous white volcanic rock and many are more than 500 years old. The food here is also very good, and cheap. Maybe 4 to 5 US dollars for a great meal. It feels like a small town vibe, but still bustling like a big city. The are so much more advanced and westernized then I expected.

We are still looking for more off the beaten track adventure. So the very next day we take off to Cuzco in search for a 4 day trek to see the ruins of Macchu Piccu.

Yo man... Sounds like an intersting trip. I'm in the middle of exams just now. My friend Dave is flying in from Scotland today, so I'm off to the airport to meet up. Kevin is back from Thailand and there is talk of us doing the marathon this yr... maybe. We'll see. Glad to hear you doing well! GGGG!
