jared is growing out his beard and his hair for the whole trip and its pretty funny because we have gotten more than one taliban comment or people say salaam or think he's pakistani. one time someone caught the striking resemblance between him and the moses statue he was sitting by :)
going back to flores was totally different this time because there was some wild kind of fair going on. first of all across from the little island that flores is there were carnival rides and a big stage for big loud mariachi bands and also little tented areas with tons of foosball tables under them that looked like they were from 1967...?! people were also celebrating on the island, starting out with this parade that consisted of 7 drunken guatemalen dudes dressed as women dancing down the middle of the street following a truck with big speakers and setting off firecrackers everywhere.. i was totally impressed with their stamina as they made it all around the little island at least 3 times! by the 3rd time around not only were there more men dancing but there were horn players and two men carrying a marimba while the other man walked and played!!! also a big crowd of people all following walking down the middle of the street, what a riot!
the picture with red is of the Gallo Beer girls...they conned us into playing some dice game in the hopes of winning a free beer!
