The Candlyless Parade
Yes you read that right. On August
30, 2012
there was a parade to celebrate the founding of Santa Rosa
I was excited until right before it started and Lucas
let me know that there would be no candy. Suddenly I wasn’t so interested in
going. But, his parents were there visiting so I joined them to watch the
parade.
In the end it turned out fun, listening to the bands and
seeing what the police and armies looked like.
The Gauchos in their traditional wear were my favorite.
They had the kids
from their schools march starting with the youngest.

After the parade we spent the rest of the
day going up and down the streets lined with tents and tarps where people were
selling all kinds of things from clothes, to knick-knacks, to lots and lots of
food.
It felt just like being at a fair minus
the rides!
