Auntie and I did a weekend trip to Colca Canyon. It was terrific!!!

fiesta parade in Chivay
close-up of boy in parade - LOVE THE JESUS CAPE!!Actually, I did see another fiesta parade the night before... It started with people in costume, then came some religious stuff, then a couple guys in regular clothes carrying a crate of beer, then a few more guys in regular clothes, then a brass band. Hmmmm, maybe they were on to something: the beer starred in the parade!

the hard sell
a Coot, my fave waterfowl (b/c they are so weird!!)One final story: at lunch on Sunday, my constant attitude of "I'll eat anything once" led me astray.... I tried a little bit of stewed Cuy (guinea pig), as the locals kept telling me it was tasty. It sorta was nice, a bit like chicken, but then I accidentally ate a guinea pig FOOT. ICK. The others at the table had a massive laugh at the look on my face. :)
