A Fun Afternoon

After our Cumbemayo tour (see post below), we met up with the other volunteers here in Cajamarca for lunch. We ate at a yummy Chinese restaurant. Afterwards, Stephen and I visited the catacombs beneath the Church of San Francisco near the Plaza de Armas. We also visited the museum at the Church. After that we did some shopping! We bought a lovely painting on a plate from the artist himself. We also purchased an alpaca scarf and a headband for me. On the way home we stopped at a spot we pass everyday on our way to volunteer. There is an old man who sits at this spot everyday and makes baskets by hand. The baskets must take him at least a day, maybe two, for each one. We don't know what we will use the basket for, but we have wanted to buy one from this man for quite a while. We couldn't believe the baskets only cost 10 soles, or the equivalent of about $3.50.
