¡Festival for Sr. de Torrechayoc!

Wiped.

There's been 2 days of festival for Señor de Torrechayoc (who is more or less Jesus).  There's so much that just happened, but let me see if I can't break it down in a list.
  • Bands like practicing at 4 in the morning
  • Fireworks go off every 5 minutes or so
  • Urubamba is packed
  • Sr. de Torrechayoc's face is plastered everywhere
  • 42 groups are dancing throughout the streets
  • Colors and costumes galore! (lots with masks)
  • Start from 7 am to late night
  • Everyone's getting drunk
  • Apparently people save up $ all year for this one festival
  • Can someone say religiously themed?

There's so much that went on, I think I'll just go ahead and do narrating through pictures.  (Currently uploading some 350 pictures, but some 350 pictures from the weekend can be found here starting around #630)
