Carnaval, Aruba, February 2009 (part 2 of 2)

Most of my photos are of individuals who graciously, and proudly, posed for me showing off their work, but this is to give you the idea that there were LOTS of people in each "group."

This "road piece" was a major crowd-pleaser. Our Arubian friend H. told us that peacock feathers cost about 2 florin (about $1.15) EACH, so this guy's committment to Carnaval, both in time and money, really shows. Our liveaboard neighbor S. jokes that he wants to do something like this next Halloween. (or maybe just photoshop his face into this picture???)

Startin' 'em young - even the kids get into the act, as this junior beauty queen shows!
