Fiesta

The community where I am from celebrates the Feast of Joseph the Worker every first day of May. Fiesta. But honestly I haven't heard of Joseph the Worker before we moved here. I was more aware of Joseph the Dreamer. Google tells me, though, that there really is a "the worker" in contrast to what I thought that people from here just invented "the worker" since the fiesta falls on May 1st, which is also when we celebrate the Labor Day. So labor=work. But whatever. I hate fiestas, or such celebrations. Or perhaps it's what they do during fiestas which I don't like. It's supposed to be a saint's feast. A religious practice. But what most people do is get drunk, and compete with each homeowner on who owns the loudest speakers.

Good thing it started raining late afternoon. The streets sort of cleared after that.

But real hard rain started pouring THIS afternoon. It was kinda gloomy after lunch. My favorite kind of weather. That's why I decided to take this pic.

Notice the print on the yellow flag, lower right of the pic. San Miguel Beer sponsored the banderitas. That's why people were motivated to get drunk. And yeah that's the sky on the background. Really dark. Love it.
