After our botched conference idea, we did a little touring today. This convent is from the 1550s and looks a lot like southern Spain (but with better weather). This afternoon we are going to a real, live Peruvian birthday party (actually our second, after Mama Cubas' the first day we were in Peru). Hope to get some good photos and learn some new fascinating thing about the culture!

   great pics guys! bummer about the conference mix-up. maybe by "sunscreen" they meant "sleeping bags." you know, a slang thing. you are brave though. i wouldn't attempt to go to a conference that soon unless they could guarantee, through a respected interpretter, that there would be kites or carbon nano-fiber space elevators there.
   
   we have one more module here at CIT. it's getting empty around here. we were just talking today and were wishing you were still in Apt 3.

   I'm really enjoying reading about your new life in Arequipa, and the pictures are gorgeous--the colors on the buildings remind me of Greece. Keep those posts coming!!
