Ascencion Parade

Today we went into town, and happened upon a parade. It was to celebrate the ascension of Mary into heaven. The parade was a great example of the mixed Spanish/Indian culture here. The first part looked like a traditional Catholic serious celebration, with incense. The second part had people with feathers in their hair dancing to drums in a circle - very native american. And the last part had some giant paper mache heads dancing around to drums - not sure what to make of that. But it sure looked cool.
