Monasterio de Santa Catalina

On Thanksgiving day we crossed the border into Peru. From the border town Tacna we took a long bus ride to Arequipa. When we got settled in we went to a Monasterio.

"In 1579, less than 40 years after the Spanish arrived in the city of Arequipa, the Santa Catalina de Siena Convent was founded. Since its inception, women from diverse social backgrounds have entered the convent to serve as cloistered nuns, never again to return to their homes and families."

I took some really cool pictures at the Monasterio, based on line, texture and color.

  1. The photos are beautiful. I really like the titles for the photos of black & white and walls of Monaterio. Brycie's shirt really blends him into the wall. did you take the pictures?
    We had a big Thanksgiving dinner with 15 people - my three brothers, your great grandma and grandpa, plus Craig's brother and family. Lots of delicious food. Are you tasting any new foods?

  2. Empanadas sound really good. I'm impressed you tried coffee. That is a beverage I have never liked. Right now I'm sipping peppermint tea on a cold, cold December afternoon at work.
