The following post has the lead story for Carnaval and we just added this one to be able to put up some additional videos.
We got back to Rota and I squeezed some video so that I could upload it and then - no internet. The business that sends a free wifi signal out to the harbor for some reason turned it off. So we are back to hiking up to a restaurant or the library. This will cramp our Facebook activities quite a bit. Expect a little more time lag in our response to emails. Here is a video of the crowd in Plaza Mina. By this time it was early morning and we had gotten some exposure by playing flamenco for some of the groups. Then they all wanted to sing!!! We found that different groups were competing to have us in their group by feeding us drinks. Oh well, maybe one more..... Here they are:
Here is an earlier video of the Plaza before we had "introduced ourselves". Some of the costumes are store-bought and others are hand made. There is a big tendency for groups to dress all alike rather than to a theme with each creating their own costume....reflecting Spain's bigger emphasis on groups.
Notice that lots of fun is being had. Lots of drinking going on, but no problems. Here are some mug shots:
See the next post for more detail....
