En Teach me about birdwatching!!! el 2008.08.03

A few days ago we visited the Museo de la Nación, here in Lima. How many birds can you find? We found a lot of things that were not from the past, but used today; especially in the Andes. One example: MASKS. Masks have been used for centuries in all sorts of ceremonies, from religious to entertainment; with different shapes, colours and materials. Some of them represent animals, others represent devils (it is a recurring theme - the fight between good and evil) and some are reminders of the mockery...

There was even a businessman in his 30s, who climbed out of a black-tinted S.U.V. in nothing but shorts, as a muscular chauffeur handed him...

Rather than expand on the different details in Spain and France, let's summarize the Uribe trip with the declarations of Javier Solana, speaking in the name of the European Union...
