Sunday Parades

There were several parades in our neighborhood (the historic district of Cuenca) today. Lots of music, dancing, horses, and children in costumes. Not sure what the reason was, but it doesn't matter. It was great!

The morning started with a parade down our street, Mariscal Lamar. 

Shortly afterwards we walked the two blocks to Parque Calderon, the main park in the city center, and saw another parade that was forming. 

We then walked a few blocks down Calle Larga, to the Merced district, and there again, another parade was forming!

Then, as we were walking down Mariscal Lamar, toward Avenida de Las Americas, we walked upon a street party. I love how they blocked the street. The bus drivers weren't too happy about this. 

Friend and neighbor, Stephen Turpin, took some excellent photos. I'm sure he won't mind me sharing. 

And that's another day in Cuenca.
