Carnival

Some say that this weekend in Oruro, Bolivia is the biggest party of the year here in Bolivia. We were out mingling in the street for half the night, and woke up early to the parade this morning outside our hotel.

The costumes have been incredible:

The protocol is usually a big demonstration of dancers in costumes followed by a marching band.

Each group just keeps getting better and better.

It is now dark, and the parade is still going!!  The costumes are full of color and the masks are surreal.  The dancing in the street won´t stop until Tuesday I hear.
