Waiting for a parade


It's hurry up and wait for these two Mexican policemen. They literally block off dozens of side streets leading to the parade route. These two were having a little break, well, one was having a siesta! The little chairs in the bottom picture were just so cute; one could imagine the little kids sitting ther and cheering and hoping to catch some candy. Actually, when we went back at night right before the parade started, the chairs had been replaced with grownup folding chairs and were filled with grownups. Broke that bubble! There were 275,000 people on the parade route on Saturday night. Fat Tuesday was supposed to be even bigger!
