Started with a nice band...
And then Spongebob Squarepants...????
Followed by a bootleg "Aladdin" float...with the Disney Aladdin Soundtrack in Spanish blaring...
And then some Sevillana dancers...and a bunch of other bands and random floats filled with kids...they were ALL throwing candy...
FINALLY something that made sense....a float featuring a guy bearing the Kings' gifts...
And then each king had a float (well, two floats...one for him and one for his harem of women)
And the Kings were throwing ENORMOUS amounts of candy (and a few babydolls) to the people lining the streets...I mean, it's better than Halloween...you just stand there and candy rains from the sky...none of this walking door to door, "Trick or Treat" business! LOL!
We were told by one of the Rota natives who works in the Commissary to take an Umbrella to protect from the raining candy...and we DID...it turned out to be REALLY handy! Reese got "bonked" in the head by some candy!
Ray took a piece to the eyeball! I was taking pictures at a "safe" distance!And as crazy as this sounds...this was the least chaotic parade I've ever been to.
Go figure!
Now to figure out who to donate all this candy to...
