San Francisco Carnival 2008!
After months of practice and rehearsals, carnival 2008 finally arrived!
We got a very early start on the day and made it up to the city around 8:30. Silvia was one of only 4 dancers that made it there on time, but it wasn’t a big deal since they were near the end of the parade.
Once the parade started ingrid and i hung out near the beginning of the parade and waited a looooong time for silvia’s group to show up. ingrid was getting pretty restless, but we managed. i took tons of pictures and of course as silvia’s group arrived my camera battery crapped out! thankfully i was able to do the old remove and re-insert trick with the battery to get enough pics of silvia dancing, which was good because if i hadn’t taken any pics i’d be dead now. 
after silvia went by ingrid and i hung out with my friend aharon and grabbed some lunch while silvia finished the parade. in our usual style, we had no real plans of how we would meet up at the end, and i had no idea how long it would take for her to finish the parade. so after lunch with aharon we wondered around to where i thought the end of the parade was and sure enough we ran right into her group right after they had finished the parade!
anyway, i’ll stop blabbing, and you can all enjoy the wonderful latina girls of san francisco la honda.
