The eagle had landed.... San Martin Tilcajete was the place to be on Fat Tuesday for Carnaval. This year even more people showed up to see the incredible costumes in this village, famous for its woodcarving. And they did not disappoint....
The day is centered around a "wedding" that takes place in front of the municipal building. Here's the lucky bride before the ceremony.
And the groom dancing with a turkey, a tradition here.
There were all sorts of amazing looks. "Beakboy" covered with oil.
A young version of Mr. Death.
A nice example of the alebrije painting for which the village is renown.
And styles all their own.
No better place to be any time, but especially for Carnaval.... and always an
import village to visit for anyone coming to Oaxaca.
