Another Stellar Performance

Once again, the kids played in a marvelous violin concert last night. This concert was even better than the last because there was an orchestra backing them up. So, each kid played their solo, then the rest of the violins, violas & cellos joined in to play another round with them. They performed beautifully - even after they had to wait over an hour for a power outage to end to begin the show.


Since the concert was held downtown (in the Instituto Nacional de Cultura), we were able to wander over to the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) afterwards to take in the traditional Trujillo Christmas festivities. Each year various businesses put up big decorated trees on the Plaza and the city puts up its culturally adapted nativity scene (Mary & Joseph are wearing typical Trujillo clothing and the 3 wise men brought red bell peppers, white asparagus & rice - all Trujillo products). It was a delightful ending to a very special night!
