The girls built this little christmasy spot in the hostel the night before christmas.
Un Milagro! We got a kick out of this nativity scene in front of the bank in Mollendo, Peru. There was no baby until christmas morning, and then, complete with white fuzz, which perhaps depicts the miracle, baby jesus appeared!! we had fun looking for the change as we walked by it everytime we went back to the hostal.
After being awakened in the hostel by Maggie tap, tap, tapping on the door at 6am, we proceeded with checking our stockings and opening presents that were nicely laid out on our little christmas shrine or table. Then we walked a couple blocks to a large church and got in on the 7am mass. There were a couple of bars still rocking from the night before and mass was not well attended. We heard later the 7pm mass was a lot more popular.
Then it was off to the beach after a quick stop at the public market and comedor for the best hot chocolate made from scratch and cafe con leche. Here are the girls on christmas day. We were surrounded by Peruvian families enjoying thier day off with thier kids. Really fun. Mery Christmas!
