June 1 - David arrives in Lima and goes directly to Arequipa




David flew into Lima from Seattle and, changing planes, flew directly to Arequipa. He spent the day visiting the Monasterio de Santa Catalina and the Museo Santury where there is a very interesting exhibit of "Juanita the Ice Princess", a frozen body of a young girl sacrificed to the gods by the Incas and left buried on the mountain Nevado Ampato. Apparently she was killed to appease the gods after a major earthquake.  David then spent the rest of the day, unsupervised, taking photos a lo loco.
By the way, Sunday is presidential election day with Keiko Fujimori going up against  Ollanta Humala.

    We are really enjoying your blog forwarded to us by Jon Richards, especially because we are flying to Peru on June 15 and will be in Cusco for Inty Raymi on June 24. How do you get Internet access for blog posts? We are thinking of doing our own blog.
