Tunja, Colombia

A long bus ride and I ended up in Tunja. With no more buses going to my destination I had to find a hotel (for cheap) and managed to after a few tries. The next morning to my surprise the hotel staff ( a family) told me that there would be a Palm Sunday procession through the town that morning. I went to take pictures and saw the procession of various Catholic costumes that are a bit frightening being from the US. There were military and youth marching bands playing Simon and Garfunkle's song Sound of Silence.

It was great to see another Semana Santa procession and witness the smaller town traditions that are so popular in the interior of Colombia.Les mer
