Señor de los Temblores
Last night Alex and I headed out of our casa towards the plaza for an official business meeting with a colleague of ours. As we walked down the street towards the plaza, where our meeting was, we quickly noticed there were hundreds (maybe thousands?) of people gathered around the cathedral on the plaza. We had no idea what was going on... turns out everyone was waiting for el Señor de los Temblores, or the lord of the quakes. This is apparently the protector of Cusco. In 1650 an earthquake destroyed the city, so the citizens of Cusco went to the streets with an image of Christ and from that day, it became the city protector. The city protector is now plastic and decorated with red Christmas lights. People threw flowers at him.

I never trashed playing baseball or teaching it, I said it has value as a neighborhood game. So you're profession is still awesome. I just said watching MLB is worse than watching grass grow in a desert.
