Parade in Quetzaltenango

Well hello everyone, I wanted to show you some pictures taken today. This was a Christmas parade, it stated in the afternoon. and ended at 9 pm it was nice, there were a lot of people, it was a bit difficult to find a place but in the end we managed to stay in front :) People in Guatemala love parades, and at the end of the parade, there were fireworks.

This is one of the bands, they were playing Christmas songs, all the kids were dancing and laughing.

Sometimes they decorate cars, this one was decorated as a mushroom and on the back they had kids dressed as smurfs

Here are some of the smurfs that were waving at the people.

These kids had Christmas clothes, and they were waving at the people in the parade.

This was the float a music school had, they were playing some songs and asked the people to participate singing.

This was one of the clowns that was here, he took a kid and placed him on his shoulders and took him for a ride on the mono cycle, the kid was brave, then he was going to take another kid, but that kid started crying, so he gave him a stuffed bear instead.

This float represented when Jesus was born, as you can see the sheep is real. So are the kids.

A float they were not giving gifts but they gave candy, I caught some.

Some of the people that were on the parade, it was fun and as always, when boys here see girls they always whistle at them.

Well gotta go I am about to go to class, Have a good day, or as they said in Boone, "Have a good one"
