Panoramic view (this is just four sections, but you can see the bright white lights going to the right at the top... That's the tops of all of the bleacher stands)


So many bright colors!



Wha-oh!!! "What we've got here is a failure to communicate!" Who measured this?!?! Bah-Ha! Mr. Native lost his headdress (was actually pretty scary, as it was huge and fell backwards)... He also lost half his face/head... Poor guy! I wonder if they lose points for this...?!?!



Here's a view of one float...


Then a close up of half the float...


Then a closer-up... See how small the people on the float are? Gives you an idea how huge they are!



These guys/gals almost didn't make it under, either! (But these were real people on top!)


But alas, they ducked and made it!
School 5.



As we had to be up at noon for another activity, we reluctantly left at 04:30am, missing the sixth school.

Back at the hotel by 5:30am, it was shower and bed.
