All of the crosses in Cusco were dressed this week
This is a dressed cross and Salvador who is just cross


Last night Valerio and I finished the night in the cafe after I sent Miriam home in a taxi.
She had received a call from home to say that her daughter had been bitten by a dog.
When I got to Moni this morning I was keen to find out what the latest canine incident to befall the Challco family had resulted in, luckily nothing more than a graze this time.
I don't think the dog will be so fortunate as Miriam has said she will kill it herself if needs be.
We had plenty of tourists and Peruvians in the cafe today.
It is interesting what catches people's eye, in Moni we have pictures and photos from both England and Peru and nik-naks from both countries too.

A couple of European tourists were having none of any of that, they were fixated and enchanted by a 'Terrence & Philip' South Park mug that we keep our coffee measurers in, at one point I thought they were going to ask to buy it.
This afternoon we took Salvador to see the fountain in the Plaza de Armas again, stopping at every bit of Coca-Cola advertising so that he could shout 'Coca' at it.
Tonight in the cafe we were pretty sure that a couple of customers were actually from the tax office trying to catch us out.
Their cloak and dagger act didn't really work when one of them left his hat under the table and had to come back later in the evening for it.
At least they didn't do a nine hour check everything inspection like they did to Gary recently.
