La Paz - Carnival!!

Saturday 26th July

Each year La Paz stages a carnival to celebrate the new years university intake. I remember freshers week at Sheffield University.... but that involved a lot more throwing of flour and eggs. This is how they do things in La Paz....

With a bit more colour...



And the girls can really dance...



Amazing traditional costumes...





And it´s brilliant to be so close to the action....





Synchronicity....



A gringo tries to get in on the act....



As the party continues on into the night...



In all it´s a 12 hour celebration along 6kms of city streets closed off for the occasion, and I happened upon it by chance. We are bought drinks by locals who take time to explain the different types of dance and costume and just seem happy we are there to join in the fun. In all it´s a fantastic day...
