For those of you who would rather look at pictures than read my nonesense, this blog entry is for you.
Friday evening we happened on to a ¨festival¨parade in down town Puyo
This parade was about an hour and a half. We think they were celebrating something about schools.
This culture is wonderful about celebrating most anything. Parades consist mostly of outstanding costumes and plenty of street dancing.
You can tell from these pictures that they spend a small fortune on clothing and costumes.
Some of the costumes were simply like shirts and jeans. Others were eleborate,
The above picture shows the boys dressed in a type of cowboy outfit. Not sure what that was all about.
Many of the group participants were junior high age.
One of the most eleaboratly sewn costumes is shown above.
We are not sure exactly what was being represented by the above costume. Everyone seems to have a great time. This is the second major parade in six weeks. Unfortunatly, the first one found us without a camera. Our luck was better this time.
Even the teachers had a good time!!!!!!! Why not, it was Friday night!

Thanks for the great pictures. I noticed 4 men teachers in full dress suits. Was it hot? Wonderful needle work in many costumes. Are the ladies dressed in habit part of the teaching staff in your school? They really go all out to parade in style. Restuarant and food looked good. I could almost taste and smell that roasted whole hog. Try it, you'll like it. Don

Curious, are the customs sewn by hand or machine? And by whom?
