Viva La Fiesta!

We took Daniel to Mercado del Norte last week to celebrate fiesta. He enjoyed eating tamales and corn on the cob, running into cousins and friends (particularly the "older" girls) and watching the carnival rides. I think his two favorite things at fiesta were the cascarones (confetti eggs) and eating his first churro.

The next day my parents and I took Daniel to watch the fiesta parade. The parade is the largest equestrian parade in the country. We were at the end of the parade route so we got to see many of the beautiful horses up close as they were loaded back up in their trailers. One horse we met even had his hooves painted with bright sparkly colors to celebrate. Again the cascarones were a big hit with Daniel- especially getting to smash it on top of his grandpa's head.
