Mom Says I’m Running Away

Day: 404

Our journey to Lake Titicaca threw us right into the middle of the Fiesta de La Cruz (Festival of the Cross). We don´t know what it is celebrating exactly, some sort of religious right that calls for 3 days of 24hr music, dancing in the streets, crazy costumes and plenty of beer everywhere. 

You get the feeling of a good time with not-so-sober bands wandering every street, and all the partying.  Then you see a painful looking Jesus on the cross in the middle of all this and remain confused.

 

Unfortunately I still am not in great shape, and wasn´t really up for to much of a fiesta, but I did manage to get out and get a few pictures of the goings on.
