Copacabana, Bolivia

Another car waiting to be blessed.

After Puno, we crossed the border (if you can call it that) from Peru to Bolivia, to a small town of Copacabana. It´s here where every weekend, Bolivians come to have their cars blessed as a form of car insurance. I´m not joking, they bring everything from motorcycles, to cars, and even buses. They all dress up their vehicles in flowers, and then have either a Catholic or Amaru priest bless it with beer... or maybe it was holy beer. Hmmm, I will never know. Though I did feel a bit enlightened after I got sprayed by accident.
