Arequipa, bullfights and stodge

I am now 24 stone. I stayed in Arequipa for quite a while with my lovely friend Miguel. Our days consisted of eating eating and eating... Massive lunches and dinners for about 30p, amazing stuff, very fond of the peruvian food and i havent been ill yet on this trip due to anything so i still can rate it.

So we headed to a bullfight to entertain ourselves in between eating, and what a hilarious one it was. 3 fighters, one from Spain, Venuzuala and one from Arequipa. The bulls didnt fight each other which Arequipa is apparently famous for they hardly fought the fighters even. The spanito was the man.. all 4 foot of him in his striking black slick outfit he danced a crazy spanish dance in front of the bull and wiggled his ass alot. The venezualian was strikingly handsome, wore an outstanding high wasted tight fitting outfit and flirted with the bull... the man from Arequipa was fat! He was hilarious, his outfit was bulging at the seams and the bull seemed almost scared of him. When he began fighting the crowd shoutd PIG PIG PIG.. ha.. very funny. They shouted ´Hey Pig, kill the bull it would look better on a plate with chips!´ Go PIG! it was hilarious. Miguel and i spent the whole tim ein stitches at the abuse that this poor fat man who probably was a stallion in his day got whilst trying to still be the number 1.

So.. more arequipa shopping, hanging around the city for a few too many day i think but still i have made a friend for life with my trusty peruvian stunner! He made my experience a good one as i was able to sample the true peruvian way of living by being by his side. It consists of eating...

So last night i flew to Lima to meet my group. The flight out of Arequipa was stunning. Flying over the top of 3 volcanoes as the sun was setting was amazing and i managed to get some of the best photographs ever taken out of a plane window. I did alot of wooing to myself. So here in Lima.. and i am hungover.. need i say more. I havent really seen anything as i have spent most of the day having to sit down at every opportunity. A great exhibition at the museum of the 20 years of terrorism in Peru, absolutely amazing photo documentary stuff.. i was blown away. A Little annoyed at my lack of being able to read spanish however when i tried to work out why this was all going on.

So.. thought for the day is that after my trip to columbia i head back to Peru and teach some kids english. In return for this i get spanish lessons. I could easily live here man.. its got alot to offer!
