At the parade with our first bag of confetti

Memo, after assaulting Rocio y Jenny with confetti (look over his right shoulder)

The confetti got a bit out of hand (and this was only halfway through the parade)

Memo and his childhood friend, Rene Tapia.

Rene was an official photographer at the parade.

Costumes by Christina Zaragoza Veronica

(apparently, she didn't finish all the shirts during the overnight sewing session)

Los caballeros ending the parade.

Our second night having dinner at the Tianguillo outdoor market
