Drinking custom
In the Juli plaza on Lake Titicaca these dancers take a break and introduce me to the Andian beer drinking custom. (The men dressed in suits are also dancers.) One cup and a large bottle. You are first given the bottle, the giver empties the cup in kind of a toast, and then passes you the cup which you fill before passing the bottle on to the next drinker. You toast that drinker, pass on the cup and await the next bottle. Yes, there may be multiple bottles making the rounds so one quickly learns to only put a little into your cup each time. Staying sober at this altitude with the Peruvian generous attitude can be a challenge.
