Wonder what the traditionalists had to say about those mini-skirts?
And they say we blaspheme their customs.

Wonderful photos, great to see this event.
So many classic images here, too many to elaborate on. The juxtaposition of the open circuit box on the palm tree and the firemen doing their ladder
act is stunning, just stunning.
Well done, thanks for sharing this documentation of Baja pride!

In La Paz, if the band plays-you dance, if someone sings-you shout encore-regardless, if there is parade you join in, and on days like Nov 20th you
cry tears of joy and laugh till your face hurts.

Thanks, gnu. Appreciate the photos as we had just returned from an exhausting roundtrip to the 'States and didn't get downtown for the parade, which
I've heard is one of the largest ever in La Paz. What a special place this is.
It's fitting that women were well-represented in the parade, as they played an important part in the Revolution of 1910, as nurses, cooks, camp
followers and as armed and mounted soldiers. They also kept the homefires burning as farmers and cattle raisers while their men were away fighting
the war, and they did a good job of it, too, as I've read the citizens of Chihuahua and Sonora states ate better during the Revolution than they did
after it was over.
