San Francisco Carnaval 2012

This last Saturday/Sunday was the 34th San Francisco Carnaval. As I came to learn, it always falls on the same weekend of Memorial. I had attended last year, but I missed the parade that time.

This time I was better prepared and I was able to follow the huge parade. Consider that they started at 9.30am, and by 3pm they were still going on.

What to expect from such Carnaval? Noise, colors, music and happy faces: what else? Ah, yes: food :-)
