Arequipa and Back

Here are some picture of the weekend. I went to Arequipa over the weekend and got to celebrate two carnaval's, because I made it back in time for the La Paz carnaval on Tuesday. I will write of what happened over the weekend when I get the chance. Right now I have to plan for another day of teaching....

Carnaval in La Paz. As soon as I got back from Arequipa, I got hit multiple times by water balloons. In fact, right now I sit at the computer soaking wet (i saw the truck coming full of teenagers, but I froze). That is one huge difference between La Paz and Arequipa. In La Paz, they mostly throw water balloons. In Arequipa, they mostly throw buckets of water, paint, and motor oil. I still don't understand the oil, but we were able to stay away from it the whole time. Back in La Paz, the costumes and dances continued all day. Very very interesting time.

Ok I will post in the next couple of days to tell everyone about the weekend. Hope all is well.
