Making Arequipa Home

It is now day 3 in Arequipa and we are assimilating well into the Peruvian way of life!  We signed up for a Spanish Language School called EDEAQ and  it's located right in the middle of the City Center--which is beautiful by the way!  Here is a picture of it at night...

The man who runs the school also had a furnished apartment availible to rent which we quickly snatched up!  It's a great place in an area called Cayma and it's located on the 4th floor so it has a breath-taking view of the city and surounding volcanoes/mountains...

We also will be signing up with the local gym/sports club here called Club Internacional.  It's got soccer fields, bball courts, tennis, swimming, etc....this place is awesome!  We hope to workout in the mornings then walk over to the city center for our classes.
 
BTW, my new favorite thing about Arequipa...they're love of fine cakes!
