Corpus Cristi Festival by Mia

The atmosphere in the plaza is festive. It is crowded with all manner of people, from old ladies to young tourists, to little kids in fluffy dresses, and they are all having fun. There are two old looking carousels, one with horses made from old tires, and the other with horses made from wood. Music had just begun playing and people were dancing to it in the crowd. There are bubbles flying everywhere from the bubble guns that people were selling to little kids, glistening from the lights hung everywhere. In the alleys leading off of the square there are pretty lights strung from the buildings.

It is almost eleven pm and everyone was still out partying. Even the little babies in strollers are still awake. We are sitting around a square aluminum table in one of the packed cafes that line the square. Every singe table is full and you can tell that the place is conserving their drinks, because the glasses of wine they are bringing out are becoming increasingly small. We sit there, six people around one little table, soak up the atmosphere, and eat some good gelato.
