A Cusco Christmas

SantaI feel I have to say time is winding down. Four days left in Cusco, then a day in Lima, then my flight back to Canada on the night of December 27th.

But I cannot say that.

Things are just getting started. It’s nearly Christmas.

The plaza has been blocked off for a giant market that takes place on December 24th, and final preperations have begun on giant nativity scenes out front the churches with real grass. There have been Christmas trees around for weeks, but now we are begining to see a more religious note to the celebration.

At the hostel, on Christmas day, they are having a full dinner with Turkey and all the trimings.

Things are just getting started.
