Walking home from the studio on Monday, we stopped by Bonanza (the super-market we go to) for a few things. Coming out of the store and heading up towards our hill, there was a commotion in the street, a crowd was gathering, a cop was directing traffic. We had stumbled upon our second Posadas procession of the season. The bed of a large pick-up truck was festooned with banners, pine boughs, and spanish moss. Children dressed as an angel, the Virgin Mary, and Joseph stood (a little shakily) in their little diorama-like environment. Revelers (families with children) carried star piƱatas behind the truck, singing from the Posadas song books.

Posadas, Festivities
Walking home from the studio on Monday, we stopped by Bonanza (the super-market we go to) for a few things.
