Three volcanoes overlook the city of Arequipa. Arequipa is known as \u00a8La Ciudad Blanca\u00a8 or\u00a0The White City,\u00a0because of Sillar, the white\u00a0volcanic rock that many of the buildings are constructed of. Another less desirable byproduct of the volcanoes is a fine glassy dust carried by the wind to\u00a0settle in a fine layer over everything, including\u00a0books. The dust is so fine it permeates even the\u00a0smallest of openings. Many of the books are centuries old and have accumulated centuries of dust. One of the ongoing projects\u00a0here in Arequipa is to clean\u00a0and remove the\u00a0books from the San Francisco Monastery. The\u00a0Books are housed in a condemned building. Pictures of the library are unavailable at the moment but will be added later. You\u00b4ll just have to settle for the volcanoes which really are majestic\u00a0troublemakers. Picchu Picchu is trying to hide beneath the cloud bank, but it\u00b4s there.<\/p>\n
