I was reminded of Carnaval while walking through Merida this past weekend. These posters, proclaiming how much fun it is all going to be, were everywhere downtown. This one really gave me a chuckle.
It's like somebody did a caricature of my carpenter's slutty wife. Looks just like her too.
This next babe looks like they just told her that she gets to be the Mayan priestess in the parade this year. The one that gets sacrificied to the screaming crowds if not enough goodies are thrown from the floats!
An interesting theme this year. New Era. Of what? Are they trying to down play some of the doomsday hype for 2012? Or maybe that's just the name that got pulled out of the hat this year. Who knows.
If you are interested in attending any of the parades in Merida this year (of which there are six!), you can take a quick run over here. Debi has laid out the whole schedule for you. I will be at one of them for sure.
I will also be trying to get some pics of our local little affair on the island. Also, a first for me this year, we will be heading up to Progreso for a Fat Tuesday dinner and party at a friend's restaurant.
Should be an exciting Carnaval year this year! Stay with me for all the developments!
