Pase del Nino is the name of the parade which lasted 8 plus hours....I only stood for 1 hour taking pics then made my way to the central park on a back street.....the photos will explain why. The parade ends at the park but again this takes 8 hours to complete.
REMEMBER DOUBLE OR TRIPLE CLICK ON THE PICS TO ENLARGE
Participants getting organized
no room to move
dancers
the Vatican ???
one of many children's choirs
the parade is organized by the Catholic Church but includes numerous local tribal rituals....
the best perches
this pig was being carried on the shoulders of a single man.....he needed to rest every once in a while and had an escort with a stool....
thousands of children and babies dressed to celebrate the occasion
I stopped here for a cone of not ice cream but whip cream 35 cents
a living statue

Tomorrow is Christmas.....hope I can find some comida(food).....Families here have their main Christmas Dinner late tonight then attend church at midnight.....gifts are set at the foot of the children's beds and not under the tree as is our tradition.
FELIZ NAVIDAD
