The attached pics were mainly taken while walking around Arequipa. One of the main tourist sites in Arequipa, which the Peruvians call the White City, is the Santa Catalina Monastery.
Santa Catalina Monastery Historically, many local families sent their daughters there to the Convent along with servants, etc., so they were cloistered but lived fairly well. Today it is home to a small number of nuns, but the main part of the Convent is open to tourism. The pictures will show you how great it was:

Arequipa Photos We left Arequipa on Christmas Eve to head to Lima to spend Noche Bueno y la Navidad with Beth's friend Fabrizio's family. Before we left though, we had to take a picture with Santa Claus in the Plaza in Arequipa.
