Domingo - Día de los Locos

Ayer vimos el desfile de los locos aqui en San Miguel de Allende. Es un festival muy importante para San Miguel.

The Dia de los Locos parade was a very exciting parade and very historic, starting in the 1700's as a festival to give thanks and to ask the Saint Pascual Bailon for a prosperous year. This year's theme for the costumes was Disney Classics, so while giant Shreks would be throwing candy at everyone, watching not far behind you could see Captain Hook waving to bystanders. Then, after we watched the parade, we went to lunch at the Mansion del Bosque, where like most places, they serve a variety of great foods loved by all of us. Then, we all had a lot of time between lunch and dinner so you could find most of us playing card games, sleeping or, leaving for Parque Juarez. Parque Juarez is a scenic park were you could join a variety of sports like soccer and basketball. Then, for dinner, we went to a wonderful French restaurant called El Market Bistro that was like the Mansion del Bosque in that they served a variety of foods, except this food was French. Finally, after dinner we watched a movie about the Mexican Revolution in the restaurant. -Charlie Wolf
