choza

this morning i was on my bed writing a letter when i heard this low drumming sound. i was about to say..."buster! you can't do that on the balcony, buddy??"...when i got up to look out the window. i saw the following:


the red and gold thing all those dudes are carrying is called a choza. the two guys on top are beating on a drum. i don't know all the details yet, but someone told me that the choza houses a god and that the people carry it to the temple. well, i think these guys are just practicing because the festival is next weekend and everyone says there will be lots of choza in the streets. i am glad i got a sneak peak...and now you have, too.
