I know it's been a few days, but we have been busy! The Fiesta was a gradual warm up to the main event on the 15th and it was spectacular! The street has been decorated with paper banners as well as the church.
The dancers were terrific ALL week long, the food and party every night as new treasures were brought to the church. Somewhere around 10pm a man drags a "bull" around the jardin letting
off fireworks in a random and scarey way! Pieces were raining on children who were laughing and pushing each other - it was a lot of fun. On the last night of the party there is a HUGE effigy of the church in fireworks which is lit, exploding fire and pieces of the effigy all over the jardin. Every one is really pumped for a party by the time the effigy is lit at midnight. I have a few pictures, but most of them didn't turn out too well. If I find some from friends, I'll post them later!
