This morning we decided to wander about and find somewhere for breakfast, only to discover that the cathedral was open for mass! You would not BELIEVE how hard it is to do a tour of churches here in Ayacucho – although there are so many, they are always closed! Most have mass at 6am, and there’s no way I’m getting up that early. The rest of the time, they are all closed, so it is very hard to see how pretty they are on the inside.
The big cathedral was definitely pretty on the inside, but alas it said no taking pictures so I could only sneak two. Megan’s and Kate’s opinions of the church were “it’s amazing how similar church services sound in any language.”
