On Saturday morning, we got up and ate breakfast. We had some time to relax in the town before going to the bus station. We got on the bus at 11:30 in the morning, and 13 hours later, we arrived in Arequipa! By the time we got to Arequipa, I was quite ready to not be in a bus anymore. However, I am SO GLAD that we took the bus during the day instead of overnight, because the view out the window was absolutely amazing! I saw some amazingly beautiful things! I took some pictures... but they really don't portray the beauty of what was out there. I will just have to keep the images in my head.

| The road wound through mountains... |
 |
| ... oh man, it was SO COOL!!! |
 |
| And, of course, we drove through lots of desert. |
 |
| And then we drove past the ocean!!!! |
 |
| And the sun set!!! |
 |
| The views were... breathtaking. It was totally worth a 13 hour bus ride! |
It was such a fun trip!! I am also really proud of us for pulling it off -- we did it without going on a guided bustour thingy, we found our own places to sleep, we went with the flow when things weren't as we expected, and we had a really great time! I'm so grateful for the oportunity to do this!!
