Semana Santa

I know you all can´t believe it I am getting 3 entries in two weeks. Well don´t get used to it. Huaraz is one of the most amazing places I have ever been in my life. The mountians are big, the food is american, the poeple are amazing. Wow! I had a blast we spent a day on a guided tour. Sort of a mistake, but interesting none the less. I got to see a large part of the country side and how people live in areas similr to mine, with respect to being rural. The pictures are of the celebration of semana santa. They are using sand and saw dust, dyed of couse, to make large mosaics in the prinicle street in Huaraz. Some actually use flowers. The second and last picture are from our tour. This is a glacial lake, about 10000 feet up. The native trees to this are are amazing. Thier bark is like colored tissue paper. The mountians areoud us are something like 15-16 thousand feet. You really feel small in the valley. In 1970 Huaraz ws leved by an earth quake. so the building are not very apealing but when to have view like picture three, who cares. The view is frm a american sttyle cafe it is not what you would expect in Peru. I am eating a breakfest burrito at the time I snagged this pic. The valley in leading into the lake have a lot of water falls like four. You kind of have to turn your head to get it. I hd a blast in Huarazz nd I will be going back no later than August. So feel free to make plans with me.
