Fiesta Patria

We are beginning to celebrate Fiesta Patria here in Peru, a day that celebrates Peru's independence from Spain on July 28. Yesterday we had a parade. (Think Macy's but on a smaller scale.) We actually have a grocery store named "Wong" in Lima. As such, my favorite part of the parade were the Chinese dances.






I didn't stay for very long though. The crowd was crushing, and at one point, I was actually scared that I was going to be crushed to death! And, for once, I'm not even being dramatic!
