Here's some night shots from a couple of places in Arequipa, Peru. The first two are at the Plaza de Armas and the third is next to the court house.

Here's 3 more. A couple places around town and the last is the cathedral at the Plaza de Armas.

And here's the last two. The first is from the roof of a building at the Plaza de Armas. The second one is the court house. This is the first night I saw the interior lights on at night and I really like the stained glass.

Fantastic sets Jeff. You have outdone yourself. The first one is outstanding.
Are you still in Peru?

Thanks Sury. Yes I'm still in Peru studying Spanish.

Wow. How long is your stay there? Is it part of your profession? Personal Interest?
Please accept my apologies if the questions are intrusive. I am just curious.

With best regards,
Sury

I'll be here for several months. As far as a purpose in learning the language, I'm a Christian and am wanting to help missionaries in Central and South America specifically in countries that speak Spanish. I will most likely be heading to Mexico or Bolivia after my language training to help some missionaries I know in those places. I ended up in Peru because of the recommendation of a friend of a friend and because most language schools I emailed never replied. There was one in Bolivia that replied but the reply was that there wouldn't be language training this year. There was a reply from a place in Costa Rica, but after further investigation, I felt like it wasn't really what I was looking for. So, I'm in Peru.

And I love it here.

Enjoy!
The cathedral suffered a lot during the last earthquake (2001), they have done a really good restoration job.
already get used to rocoto? or spicy food is not for you?

I love spicy food, so yeah, the rocoto is perfectly hot and spicy.

Though the one I had yesterday burned something fierce. And of course I couldn't get a waitress to come back and refill my glass of tea.

This is the Plaza at Mirador Portales de Yanahuara. It's winter and the temp tonight is 59 F. I think I could get use to living here.

Great shots, Jeff. Would not have known such a beautiful place existed, but for you.

Tea won't make it. You need something sweet. Inca Kola...
