in santa cruz for work last weekend, returning to town in the evening, we came across a street parade in the middle of the town, apparently celebrating university week.
there were more people in the parade than watching it! (and there were probably less than a hundred in the the parade)
even so the costumes were very elaborate and there was a lot of colour and movement and music and dancing
and since I've been in such a you-tubish kind of a vibe lately, I thought it was about time I uploaded a mini-cultural inventory of all things costarican which I made for my presentation for the National Conference for Teachers of English back in February.
