This is a small tourist town, mostly for people from Argentina, and since schools are on vacation there were lots of Spanish speaking families walking around. There was about three blocks of small stalls selling handicrafts. They all seemed to have most of the same items, lots of alpaca sweaters, ponchos, hats, scarves, etc. There was also carved wood items, copper things and Lapis jewelry. At the end of the street was in interesting market with stalls selling fish, fruits and vegetables, cheeses, sausages, and colorful candy. We went back to the ship in time for a Chinese lunch in honor of Chinese New Year. The weather was overcast and it did rain a bit in the afternoon.
This was a busy main street with lots of traffic and this horse was just standing there untied.
There were about three blocks of these venders stalls on both sides of the street.
Lots of different types of cheese and sausages in the market area
They have hundreds of varities of potatoes in Peru and Chile
Before dinner there was a lecture by an interesting speaker who had served as a military aide in the White House for five different presidents.
We had dinner in Prime 7, the specialty steak house. Since we are both still fighting colds we skipped the evening entertainment and went to bed early.
