Yesterday, I shared some pictures of Carnival throughout Mexico.

Now, it’s time for Carnival in Playa! I love carnival. Everyone enjoying a parade of people dressed in amazing, sometimes outrageous outfits. It’s a chance to let go and really enjoy life.

Here in Playa del Carmen, the festivities last all week, starting with a fair and concerts on Friday. There’s a small fair in front of city hall with all kinds of spectacular foods to taste. The kids even get time off from school. Classes are canceled for Monday and Tuesday after the parade weekend, so the party can keep going.

Here’s a “taste” of what you get:

This couple is ready to enjoy some very tasty (and very unhealthy) Mexican snacks:

Rides and concerts:

Finally, one of the booths selling handicrafts:

Later today, I’ll put some pictures of the parade.
