February 28 - Carnival 2017 & La Peñita Children's parade

We started off the day with a goodbye party for friends who were returning to Canada.


Lunch party

This week/weekend February 24 to 28 was Carnival in La Peñita.  Every night the music has been thumping away in town, the carnival rides are in town and the town has been hopping.

Today, we went to the parade at 5:00 which of course started sometime after 6:00.  It was a great parade.

So nice to see the vaquero tradition is still alive and well. Looks like a fun parade.
