The end of Carneval

Yesterday (Tuesday) was the last day before Lent begins.  Many of us enjoyed being chased by children (and some grown-ups) in the streets of San Lucas pelted by confetti (and an occasional water balloon) marking the end of the carnival season.  It's a time of play as we prepare for the entrance into the journey of interior conversion which is Lent.  We celebrated with a cake after reflection last night.  Some of us acquired eggs filled with confetti to go after each other in the spirit of carnival.

In the town square, Brandon walked into a one-on-one basketball throw-around with one of the locals.  At the same time, there was a soccer game as well as pranksters running around to crack confetti-eggs on people's heads.
