Corpus Christi Parade

This week is Corpus Christi, meaning after 12:00 today all classes are cancelled for the rest of the week! After I got out of my morning class, I got a chance to run down the street and catch today's parade. I just wanted to share a few pictures:

The view I wish I had.

While I didn't understand what all things things added up to, it was still an enjoyable time. There where many other things that I either didn't get a picture of, or haven't put up yet, like large statues of religious figures I didn't recognize and people with giant heads who hit the people standing closest to the parade with balloons. All in all, it was pretty short, but fun.
