Surquillo
– There
is a strange quality to the Yuletide sights for one new to the Southern
hemisphere. Bundled up Santas look for donations on sunbaked sidewalks.
The comforting holiday lights only illuminate the shortest evenings of
the year. The thick catalogs in the Sunday papers are full of swimsuit
advertisements. Nativity figurines collect in the shade of the vendor’s
stand to escape the mid-day heat.
