The Mayer Family

Note: I am posting this a day late because our internet was down last night...

April 2, 2007
Last night we walked around town a bit looking for some of the processions that we knew were going on all evening. We didn’t find any, and it was cold and rainy, so we stopped for a drink and some tapas, and this is what we were served.

Notice the fish tail in it’s mouth… it was delicious!

Tonight we decided to take the bus as a family to a large Walmart Supercenter type store just outside of town to buy some items we need for our apartment. By the time we arrived at the bus stop, the roads were emptying and the buses were no longer running. Soon after that they closed down the streets for more processions. We decided to change our plans and went to Granada’s Burger King (for the first time) for supper. We experienced another first after that when we ordered Churros Con Chocolate for dessert at another restaurant. They were awesome!

As we walked home, we just happened to run right into a very long and large procession close to where we live. The person leading the procession was bared footed, and it was very cold and rainy! The procession was VERY long with two extremely large floats that were carried by a bunch of people walking underneath. They would walk for awhile, and then stop for a little. It was definitely an experience.

No, it’s not the KKK, although the costumes are creepily similar.
