Palm Sunday in Lima

Some interesting facts about Peru ' s capitol:

9 million of the country's 30 million people live here.
It is the driest capitol in the world with only .08" of rain annually.
The city is divided into 43 districts.  Each district has its own mayor, central church square, and municipal buildings.

Today was special in that it was Palm Sunday in a Catholic nation.  We saw thousands of people celebrating the feast day and a huge procession to the downtown church.

Here are a few photos from our day.
