Peru: Arequipa - Last day

Aug 20, 2005
The last day and night we spent touring the local spots around our hostel. We visited a museum where they had a mummy found frozen in a mountain, that dated back about 5 hundred years ago. They named her Juanita.

For dinner that night I had a mixed meat platter of Alpaca, beef and Ostrich. As I was eating my meal I started feeling sick, so went into the bathroom thinking I would throw up. Nothing happened, but I didn't feel any better later that night. I ended up waking in the middle of the night with weak legs, a fever and a bad case of diareah. That morning we had to catch the plane to Cusco.I decided not to eat that day, after reading up online about food poisoning. I bought a bottle of gatorade and sipped that one bottle the whole day and ate nothing.

Here are some pictures from that day, including some of the courtyard of the hostel.
