Carnaval

Here in San Miguel, I think they're in the midst of Carnaval before the start of Lent. Today in the Jardin, there was a fantastic marimba band, loads of dancing (LATIN dancing), color everywhere and kids and people. One of the traditions is the breaking of cascarones (confetti filled egg shells) over each other's heads. I was very pleased to have been the object of one teen age boys cascarone!

You can kind of see confetti on the back and head of this lovely lady and the little boy below. I tried to download a video of the dancing but failed. It was incredible. Obviously, Latin men like to dance and know how.
