The Shattering Glass Incident

June 14, 2010 (Day 27)

Since Arequipa is such a major tourist destination, I won't talk much about the city as you can easily find info elsewhere but I will say that I wish we had more time to explore this beautiful city and its surrounding area. With all the natural attractions, such as the Colca Canyon, el Misti Volcano, and hot springs in its vicinity, I could have easily spent at least a week in and around Arequipa, and probably not seen everything worth seeing.

But unfortunately, our time was limited, and we soon had to be on our way back to reality but before we did, we spent the day strolling the streets, markets, shops, plazas, and courtyards of Arequipa.

And then to finish off the day, we enjoyed some gelato at a little spot around the corner from the Plaza de Armas that didn't think that little shards of broken glass would interfere with one's gelato experience but let's not go into that incident right now....
