One of the things I enjoyed the most about about the Cinco de Mayo festivities was this group of young ladies from St. Cecelia's parish school in the neighborhood. They all wore traditional Mexican dress-up clothing and danced through the streets as part of the parade. I was lucky to find them hanging out on a corner when the parade was forming up. I walked over to them, gestured with my camera and said, "Señoritas - ¿permiso?" They thought it was pretty funny.
I've added a lot more photos to this set on Flickr here.
TOMORROW: that doesn't sound like La Cucuracha.
