We prayed for the souls of the Mamani family, then watched as kids came in to pray. Around noon, the souls leave the house for the cemetery where they hang out.
The next day we went to the cemetery in Carmen Pampa where community members were saying their goodbyes to the souls departing for their world until next year. Here some community women rest after the souls had gone.
Later Tara and I went up to the little cemetery at the Puerto del Viento where the community members of Choro were dispatching the souls of their family members. Here a family stands with the t'antawawas (bread people) and phasancalla (puffed corn) that is given to people who pray for the family souls. (Tara and I went home with two bags full of bread people!)
Thank you, Tara, for your photos!
