Today kicks off the "month of the Virgin", culminating on December 8, which is a national holiday in honor of the Virgin Mary. There's a huge mass at the top of Cerro San Cristóbal on the 8th that I wanted to check out -- but I won't be around then because my group is taking a trip to Easter Island (I know, my life is rough). So Quinn and I decided to get our dose of Virgin-celebrating in this morning. I wish I had pictures to share, but I didn't think it would be appropriate to bring my camera to a church service (bad call, because everyone else there was snapping pictures...even a priest stepped aside during the sermon to get a photo of the decorated altar).
Living in such an intensely Catholic country is so strange.
