Dancing on Amantaní Island, Lake Titicaca


It's pouring with rain but Olga deftly leads Caroline and me in the dark up to an empty building on the hill. At one end is a bench where they sell beers and soft drinks and at the other the band. It reminds me of the brownie discos I went to when I was at school. The band play song after song of Quechua music and we all dance in a circle and then with our 'mothers'. It's all over at 10pm and we walk home in the rain. I can hear it pattering all night on the tin roof.
