Road trip to Chile


Here we are at one of the highest points... over 14,000 feet. It was pretty cold



Look at the glacier. It was gleaming in the sun. It looked like cake frosting. Now I know why we have the term "glaze"



Isabella after 5 hours of driving... still smiling


We made it to Juliaca, a very disorganized town. This photo doesn't even show close what it was really like, but part of the time I had to put the camera down and roll up the windows cause I thought we were going to get jumped! haha, not really. Between Juliaca and Arequipa we were stopped by the police 7 times. And only until the return trip did they ask for money to let us go.


After 10 hours of driving the first day we made it to Arequipa. We went to the plaza de armas and had dinner. This shot is of the cathedral on the plaza, it is very different than the usual Peruvian cathedrals. We went inside, everything was marble. Very colonial. Very beautiful.
