The windows are open because it's Corpus Christi today.

CORPUS CHRISTI
Afternoon: Elaboration of flower mats and altars in the town centre streets
6p.m.: Parish Church ? Mass and procession along the streets with
flower mats and altars

I'm bringing the hammer down on this painting, near the end where things get squishy. I'm lucky that the procession comes by our street.

All afternoon, there was a hub bub in the streets. Locals were arranging flowers and decorating the street.

In the last couple of weeks, young kids attended their first communion.

I poke my camera out the front for the view up the street.

At teh appointed hour, bells rung and the sound of the band grew near. Young virgins' feet trample the pristine and colorful offerings.

A little later, the priest arrives under cover. Incense and more hub bub. Then people, tourists.
