Yesterday was El Quince (the fifteenth) - Honduran Independence Day! Because of that there were parades everywhere and here are a few snapshots of the day.
Being the parade junkie that Tulip Time made me, I was quite happy all day. Although it was much different than children in Dutch costumes and tulips, I still enjoyed the parade without blisters from wooden shoes!
Above. Some baton twirlers at the Santa Lucia parade. Every band has these girls in skirts and sometimes heels shaking it. Just looks exhausting to me.
Above. Little pomperas! There were so cute and their poms were bigger than them!
Above. Children would also dress up as future careers aspirations. These little tikes wanted to be fairies or princesses!
Above. Down in Teguc we caught the part of the parade of men in uniform.
Above. Look rifles! Took me back to the glory days of color guard.
Above. This is what a typical marching band looked like. They would stop in the middle of the parade and have a jam session then proceed along their merry way. There were no Steering Committee members to usher them along.
Above. This is not what a typical band looked like. Nonetheless, they still knew how to break it down with banjos and even a double bass was thrown into the mix.
Above. La Bebida del Peru! We stopped in a grocery store, I saw this and then immediately wanted to call my brother and his fiancée.
