Here are the kids in front of a group of these paper mache "stooges" that you find on every street corner for sale before New Years Eve. From what we figured out, they paper mache stuffed dolls (often stuffed with old clothes from the past year) and design them to look like politicians to cartoon characters and then burn them at midnight on New Years Eve in a way to start the year anew. Many businesses and shops and homes have them displayed outside and they are even tied to the front of cars. They come in all sizes and sell from $15-$200. We are leaving for Peru tomorrow so we won't get to see all of these bonfires but I bet it will be something to see.
