Monday was a holiday in Galapagos. There was a parade in the morning. It seemed like a strange parade to
me. There were no bands. The only float was made for the girl
who won Miss Galapagos over the weekend.
After that it was just marchers or rather walkers who paraded down the
road and past the reviewing stand of local officials. All the local businesses, organizations & agencies took
part. Just about every group had a
“uniform” even if it was just a tee shirt with their logo on it. Everyone wore their uniform and walked
in the parade. Even the school
kids, who are currently on summer holiday, wore their uniforms and
marched. I walked with the Darwin
Research Station.
We were supposed to line up by 8 AM and we were
done by 9:30. I heard there was an
awards presentation in the council chambers but the public was not invited. Apparently it is a small chamber.
what is that? a Lobster Float? is it followed by the clarified butter float? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a lobster but there was no butter. It is made of recycled material exclusively. It´s back is egg cartons. It is still sitting in the park although they have it covered with plastic to protect it from the rain. They are looking for a place to house it until they decide what to do with it.
