Carnaval: The Bachata Parade - Part 1

Sunday morning we left the house at 8:15am for the Noon Parade. We found parking before we even got to Mike's house, leaving us only 3 blocks to walk. The bleachers were already full, but we were able to find a beer concession that had not pre-sold all their seats and for 35 pesos each we got front row chairs, AT the beer stand, UNDER a big shade tree. The five year old was happy. Below are my favorite photos from the day's events. I added one video for some live action. It is not a good quality video, as I am only using the movie feature of my Olympus digital photo camera, but with a little imagination it will take you to the Paseo de Montejo on parade day.
