Some images from today's festival in the central plaza. Imagine the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but instead of guiding enormous balloons filled with helium, these devout Catholics are crushed under the weight of saints weighing thousands of pounds each. The onlookers oohed and ahhed as the effigies teetered on the brink of crashing through the crowd, just the way we do on 72nd street when a stray breeze takes hold of Bart Simpson and pushes him into harm's way. Kidding aside, this was one of the most amazing spectacles I have ever seen in my life.
