Laundry courtyard: has a mini-aqueduct that feeds a double line of large clay tubs. Strange and intricate setup, just to be able to wash yer robes, wouldn’t you say? Personally, I think it’s better suited to having a nice, warm outside bath on a sunny day.

View from a rooftop balcony, of the monastery spread out below.

Beautiful architecture and artwork in the monastery.

They seem to be fond of staircases leading nowhere (just for show!). Maybe they’re just made to sit and comtemplate life and Jesus on?

Central cloister: I guess when the nuns are caught sleeping with Father Alberto, they get put up on these crosses.

Austere monastic habitation.

Protestors everywhere: the city’s drivers aren’t too happy about it.

Teachers marching through the streets of Arequipa in protest.

Mmmm… bar-b-que.

Family Sunday lunch: it’s big.
