Weekly Photo Challenge: Jubilant

“Rejoice! It’s the end of the week” says Michelle “and time for a celebratory photo challenge.”

What could be more celebratory than all the colour and joy of the festivities in Cusco’s Plaza de Armas leading up to Inti Raymi, the Inca festival of the winter solstice, which we had the good fortune of experiencing during our memorable visit to Peru, and of course Machu Picchu, in 2013.

Perhaps also a moment to be personally jubilant as it is exactly three years ago when I started blogging just before we embarked on our Peruvian adventure. It’s been a great ride and long may it continue 🙂

…As promised some pictures from our last two days in Cusco with all the color, joy and celebration of the festivities in the Plaza de Armas leading up to Inti Raymi, the Inca festival of the winter solstice. Hopefully the video will capture for you the sights, the sounds, the music, the dancing and the costumes and will become a final and lasting memory of our visit to the beautiful people and wonderful country of Peru…
