I got to Arequipa, Peru by overnight bus and was intrigued by the bus station culture. I was impressed by the way the Peruvian women carried their huge, heavy loads/food/babies on their backs with brightly colored blankets. There were tons of little stands selling bread, tons and tons of bread, including bread for the day of the dead...with the little baby doll heads and all.
Before I got on my next bus I was able to get out of the station a little bit and explore the city by means of local transportation...another experience in itself. The little bus/van I took cost about 20 cents and I had to jump on while it was still moving basically and jam myself into a tiny seat on the crowded bus with my huge backpack.
On the way back I took a cab.
