I do know that it is a photographer's dream and they were out in full force yesterday for the desfile or parade. I showed up early at the plaza where all the delegations of dancers assembled. It turned into a great fiesta with music and dancing everywhere you looked, a grand cacophony of sights and sounds. I have plenty of new shots and video, but I thought I would start with some of the kids involved in the celebration.
Getting ready.
