Start the Llamadas

 The Llamadas parade, held in the first half of February every year.  It's only comparsas, not the other groups that are in the Inaugural parade, so you just feel the drums in your bones.  We were on a rooftop and so weren't crushed by the crowd.  The first couple of pictures are of confetti and doodad sellers getting ready for the parade.  The rest are the beginning!
