Today was all about the condors! In the morning, they leave the nests for food! 
We hiked around and saw a bull ring which is used in December for real bull fights complete with toreadors...accompanied by drunken brawls and increased pregnancy rate.
Then we drove and stopped at a mirador (overlook) where a lady was selling a very sour kiwi-like fruit.
Then we went "trekking"....and saw pre-Inca colcas, which are rock storage houses for corn and potatoes. The tower is a lookout to protect the goods against thievery. (See bottom picture.)
Then we hiked to Chivay to walk around town and have lunch.
On the way back to Arequipa, we were fortunate enough to see viscachas on the side of the road.
They are related to chinchillas and are only found at very high altitudes. Aren't they cute?
Can you tell which pictures are from Joyce's camera?
We are sitting in the airport at Arequipa and waiting for our flight back to Lima.
