Guelaguetza - The ultimate feel good experience

This is what a soul needs, to be nourished by joy, energy, happiness and pride. It's a potent combination and yesterday's desfile or parade of the delegations of dancers from all over the state was overflowing in all of the above.  It is hard to know where to begin.  Dancing in the streets...

Flor de piña!!!!

 The desfile was once again led by la diosa, Señorita Leticia Reyes Salinas from Jamiltepec

I love seeing all the young people involved.

Imagine participating in something like this.  You'd be hooked for life.  I sure am.

Insuring the traditions continue infinitum.

And did I mention beauty?

 

Classic traditions!

A photographer's dream.

And smiles everywhere one looked.

Here's looking at you, kid..... I always have a soft spot for the kids in the bands.

More in a bit.  Lots of video, but that takes work to edit.... and I have to get ready for tomorrow's guelaguetza in Etla!
