Alex and I went to check out a park, Selva Alegre, here in Arequipa this past Sunday. Unlike the plazas at the center of each barrio (neighborhood), this park was clearly designed to give people the feel of escaping the city. There were concrete slides, ducks to feed, boats to row in a small manmade pond, nice views, and plenty of space for young couples to escape the watchful eyes of their parents.

| Big boat. Small pond. |
 |
| Our new house from afar! Find the bright pink flowers on the roof directly to the right of the arches. The arches are Plaza Yanahuara. |
 |
| They were selling all sorts of food from behind the fence so they didn't have to pay the fee in order to be able to sell within the park itself. |
 |
| Weeeee!!!! |
 |
| People were charging to guess your weight. We watched couples do this as the guy was watching and the girl didn't appear the least bit self-conscious. We thought this was kind of strange and noted this would never happen in the States. |

| Alex passed on the opportunity |
