These photos capture Arica's other attraction, La Catedral San Marcos, whose claim to fame is that it was designed by Gustav Eiffel, of Eiffel Tower fame! (I have not yet figured out or been able to understand when people try to tell me what he was doing here...). Anyway, it's made of metal and has a white and pink facade; very unique. I love the photo taken from El Morro, which essentially shows La Catedral and the whole downtown area, which has now become so familiar to me. Arica is a town of about 200,000 people, although it often feels smaller, as I already run into people I know!
