Here are a few pictures I took last weekend while in D.C. Amaro and I had a wonderful time in this city which always seems so alive to me...yes, it was hot and muggy, but I loved it!
The Saturday we were there there was a parade / festival celebrating Caribbean / Latino / African American culture (basically, everything goes. unless you are white or asian). We went to the parade with Peter, Angela, Rory, and Alex. It reminded me of what I imagine carnival in Brazil might be like (I'd love to go someday!) although I'm sure carnival is on a larger scale. In any case, I loved the bare-all exuberance of it all, even if I stood out like a sore thumb.
I feel like it must be easier to just dance and wear only feathers when it is hot out...imagine a festival where everyone wears furs and does the polar bear boogie woogie!
