Carnival Pics - Finally


Of course, the pics today are from carnival from last Sat through Tuesday. Getting wet is a real possibility. I got the big dump from a bucket of water some three stories up in the down town area. We hear that some areas even dump paint on each other. We are very ¨civilized¨here in Puyo.





The dresses are beautiful and they know how to make the most of what they wear.







A lot of nice looking ladies in these here parts of the world.


Don´t know about people like in the pic below. At least I didn´t recognize him (it).

You guess as to what is being sold here. Business was good, however.


And big smiles all around except on Monday when the parade got rained out. With all the rain around here, it was the first event to get rained out since we have been here. The ¨sinning¨went on in other ways even in the rain. Missed a good picture of two boys about 10 years old sharing a beer on main street watching the parade.

Great pictures, Amazing costumes when you realize that this is not a particularly prosperous area. Girls sure know how to make the best use of make-up. Don

Great pictures, though I don't know about that guy! Always good to see what you have to say. I haven't driven any this week so can check in each day. Eldon

Life here seems so boring in comparison to all that revelry! Our Ash Wednesday pancake dinner and services were subdued and we were home early.
