This was taken at a hot springs place after our hike in Colca Canyon.

Picture of a 1 Sol coin, front and back. They also have 2 and 5 Sol coins, which proved to be very helpful because everything cost under 10 Sols and no one ever had change.

Taken in a garden near the place where I took the picture of the mountains.
Some mountains in Arequipa.

So I could have sworn that I took pictures of a gas station and the prices, but I can't seem to find it. Until then, he's a picture of some good ol' American Lays at the Lima gas station by our hostel. At this point, I've been told to not take pictures of things twice now (including this one). Now I may be acting like a dumb American at this point, but what's wrong with taking pictures of some chips in a gas station? Will I get yelled at in America if I try and do the same thing? Or is it because I'm Chinese and I might be a spy pretending to be a tourist so the Peruvians are suspicious of me? Anyways, the prices above are in Peruvians Sols, where 2.85 sols are worth $1 US, so these bags are definitely not cheap, but I can say that they do seem to taste less oily.

Check out the octane in Peru! So high! I took a picture of the prices too. Maybe I'll make that my next post...
