Mountain Biking on Mount Misti
Today we went on a mountain biking excursion with some new friends from our Spanish school. We biked at Mount Misti, one of the 3 major mountains (and "sleeping" volcanoes) here in Arequipa. The trail was mainly sand, dirt, and rocks along with some paved roads as well. I have a new found respect for bikers, as I thought at one point while we were going up hill that I was going to have a heart attack! Mountain biking is HARD but also was pretty exhilarating when the road turns and you're going top speed on the downside of a hill. This was a great experience and hope we get another chance to do this while we're here!
