Kim, Col & Casey in South America Living it up on a South American west-side adventure!

Peru

This is a Cathedral in Lima that we visited.  We took a tour through the site, including through some really cool old rooms with amazingly carved ornate furniture for monks and priests, and through catacombs under the church where literally tens of thousands of people were 'buried' (put in holes and left to rot all their flesh off, prior to having their bones eventually sorted with all the other people's bones. Mostly all we could see were thigh bones and sculls.  Some people were freaked out, but I was just awed.
