Live Nativity Dec. 23

A live Nativity in the Park.  I am not sure what the three "Angels" on stilts were.  They looked a little like the Three Musketeers with wings.  Anyway they knew who we were because they called us Hermanos.

More Market

More Market

A true Peruvian Christmas Tree.
The day after Christmas everything was gone
and the plaza was cleaned and the flowers were
blooming.

Sort of a strange Christmas.

More phone lines and Christmas

The phone lines are just such a wonder.

Two days before Christmas the village people bring their wares to sell they set up booths all around Plaza de Armas and San Pedro and anywhere else they can.  There are hundreds of them.

Trip to Abancay and Andahuaylas

Elder Poulsen took Elder Johnson with him to do some church business in Andahuaylas check out the road on the side of that hill.  They had a taxi all the way with 5 people in a small car on a very curvy, narrow road. The scenery was amazing.
