trip within a trip pt. 7: Arica

After all the dessert fun in San Pedro, we zig-zagged back west to Calama and then North to Arica, which is the northern-most city in Chile. (Total Bus Time = 43 hours and counting). It was a pretty large city, with a big mountain overlooking it called El Morro. It's an important port and was the site of an important battle in the 1800s when Chile took it from Bolivia, land-locking them and causing centuries of awkwardness. I got pictures from the top and bottom of the mountain, some boats, and the Jesus statue on top. Arica = Chilean Long Beach
