mas correfoc

So this past Saturday night I participated in a tradition (well, according to Juanjo my adviser it is a new and somewhat fabricated tradition, but whatever, its cool) called correfoc. Basically the premise is that people run through the streets dressed like devils, playing drums, spinning giant sparklers, and operating mechanical dragons that blow fire out their noses. Whooo!!!!!

the correfoc approaches...

they were trying to cover their bodies from the fire

Ahhh!!! It felt like we were being attacked by an approaching army

They would never allow this in America

I love this picture

Why did you bring your baby????!?!?

The second wave of FIRE

The box where they kept their supplies of fireworks

At this point Marisa and I decided to join the parade!

 

 

...crazy right???
