Strolling

I´m spending this weekend taking it easy, walking around the streets of this city, letting the fatigue of the traveling thus far wear off. It´s a great place to hang out - I can see why there are so many long-term gringos here.
I was writing an email to Craig a minute ago and I had to stop because a marching band was suddenly walking through the streets in front of the internet cafe, carrying a little miniature virgin Mary in a wedding gown on a platform, playing kind of somnolent, decorous music, with guards with guns and chewing gum looking bored, and a few business-looking guys...all moving in super slow motion, like those greek dances you see with baby steps and barely discernible arm movements. Fascinating.
