Yesterday we arrived in Arequipa, La Ciudad Blanco (the White City), so-called because of its beautiful buildings made of Sillar, white volcanic rock. We were given a really warm welcome at the airport, as Neuvas Fuerzas came to greet us with hugs, smiles, and red roses for each of us. Neuvas Fuerzas are the group of people with disabilities from the church that we are working with. We were all so happy to have arrived here; as we walked round the little supermarket afterwards to get a few things for today's breakfast, we couldn't stop smiling to ourselves. We also got a little over-excited about the amazing choice of fresh fruit.
It was really great to finally meet the differently-abled artisans that I have heard all about. Today we are going to the church to see how the group are getting on. Will blog about that later, but for now, here's a picture of the amazing view from our accommodation here.
