This signs informs us to save the environment and put the toilet paper in the trash can. After that, it is collected, carefully box and sent to the capital for printing the laws.

Chinatown in Lima, Peru! And the city buses have the route name also in Chineese. Much like San Francisco, but smaller.

Downtown Lima again. Photo of the traffic. Huge with a high percentage of taxis. The city has a campaign going to encourage the citizens to take buses. Buses are also prolific.

Because the national assembly is in session, there were cops and soldiers everywhere. I saw no rioters. The sides can swing forward and create a screen fence. Otherwise, the sides are back to protect the cab.

Here is your standard water truck to make sure the rioters keep it clean.

I guess these officers were on break, so I got an easy photograph. Other places there were dozens and some horseback. Those horseback were all women.

Welcome to Lima!! The taxi ride to the hostel was an education in what is possible in a motorized vehicle! Speeding, going the wrong way, on the sidewalks, down the shoulder!

My hostel costs $6 a night. So how can one complain about anything? And the shower is hot! Breakfast is encluded-- roll, jam, banana and coffee.

Thirsty? (I look pretty damn good at 62 years old!)

School kids in the capital. This is downtown!!

Many homes have a cross in the front before Easter. After Easter Sunday, the cloth is changed from purple to white.

The "Best Supporting Actor" award goes to P. Pilate,. who played himself in "The Ressurection" produced by the Roman Empire. He is accompanied here by his consort and personal guard!

Many homes have a cross with the purple before Easter. After Easter, the "shrowd" is changed to white.

These folks represent those onlookers at the original crucifiction. Anyone can participate. Just make a costum.

This is a small Christ float. He is dressed in rich robes. I'm not sure how that fits into the Easter story. The photo was taken to show the only woman who helped carry any of the floats. This particular float was from another parish in another town.

Ancient jewish clergy in ancient jewish robes.

Local clergy. The modern version of the ancient ones.

What are they carrying??
There is much competition to help carry the floats. These two forgot thier sashes!

Here it is!! Very impressive. This is the largest one in San Jose. I was offered a place on another. A successful interview, $10 and the correct clothes would have gotten me in. I passed.
