Mexico – Oaxaca – the Gueleguetza

Oh my gosh that was sooo amazing! Today we were in the car and we arrived at this place but I had no idea where we were going . So we took a taxi to a field and walked up a hill. Then suddenly someone started talking into a microphone and in came lots of people walking around in circles, in their traditional dress with pottery in their hands. A man walked up and placed a massive carpet in the middle, made out of leaves. Then all of the people came to the centre and smashed their pottery cups and bowls on the carpet and walked away!!! There were other dances such as a dance with some beautiful ladies in colourful skirts carrying pineapples. I went to go and sit at the front because there was an extra chair. At the end of every show / dance, the performers threw sweets and bread into the audience. The lady next to me gave me a star fruit which she had caught.

Another great dance  Another great dance
