On Tuesday I was sitting in a stalled bus behind a long line of immobile buses and cars, with pedestrians lining the sidewalk. Rather than wait for the traffic to become untangled, I got off to see what was causing the impossible jam. A parade of trucks, carts, and cars loaded with high-school-aged boys and girls were having the time of their lives hooting, yelling, and snaking their way through the narrow streets of El Centro. Everybody loves a parade??!! I know I did!

Everybody Loves a Parade

Why were they having the parade? I love the balloons!
What fun photos! Our whole family enjoys parades...and circuses, and fairs, too. My DH even *has* to attend the grand openings of stores, movie theaters...you name it. :)
I can see why people say that. Parades make people happy at least it does for me.
That's a really great montage, Kate!
Very festive & everybody seems to be having a great time. You got very good shots.
love your collage Kate.
looks like they were having lots of fun.
I feel that some parades are quite artificial, but this one seems to be really nice!!
Everyone looks like they are having a ball or good time.
Since you were stuck in traffic, I wonder how expensive gasoline is there?
Drop dead gorgeous woman there!
Chris et al, I wish I knew the reason for the parade. Parades and fiestas are numerous here, and I even wonder if the locals are aware of the reasons?! We'll still be here for Easter Week so that should be a real blast, or so I've been told.
Oh yes, we all love a parade. Love the photos.
Getting off the bus was definitely a winner. You would have missed what appears to have been a very colorful, fun and dynamic event. Beautiful youngsters.
Brilliant that you came across such an interesting event! Love the photos.
Cute kids and it looks like a fun parade.
I like your collage treatment too.
A parade is always fun. I have an award for you on my blog.
All that pink! Really bright and pretty.
Kate, are you stay in Mazatlan?. Good.
Great photos, Kate!
Did you find out what the parade was about?
Love it !!! There are pretty girls too I see ;-) -- As kid I was used to walk happy behind band. If I have chance I still do the same as adult.
