Our first camping spot-
Popayan, population 266,000, is nicknamed La Ciudad Blanca and is a colonial settlement. It was founded in 1537 and suffered much damage in 1983 from a large earthquake. It's a university town so there were many students wandering around.
Catedral, in neo classical style, was built between 1859 and 1906-
and was celebrating Corpus Christi-
There was a funeral taking place-
A fruit stand selling kumquats, strawberries, oranges, very large overripe peas and oranges-
Looking forward to moving on and getting to Ecuador. I've booked an 8 day/7 night Galapagos cruise leaving Quito October 26!
P.S.-
