December 6, 2009 

  Catholic churches abound. More merging of traditions here instead of obliteration. Statues of saints dressed in Incan clothing with symbols worshipping the sun god.
   I met an elder woman named Marissa yesterday who could not understand why I didn’t have a husband (or why I didn’t want one.) She gifted me a bracelet with pictures of the saints on it for protection since I didn’t have an escort.
    They would not let tourists in the churches today. When the woman saw the bracelet she let me pass. It is so cool to have my path made clear. Suz
