I just had to write about my first Sinulog ever! =D Sinulog is a festival we hold here in Cebu, Philippines, but I've never ever been to one until this year. Date was January 17, 2010. hehe! :) I only went because friends from the States wanted to go and I was thinking: "What if they get lost?!"
So I found myself in Mango Avenue that Sunday morning. Goodness, we got there at 11a.m. (which isn't that early mind you) and there were loads of people! XD we were fortunate enough to have a friend who erects bleachers every Sinulog for friends to stay in.
Just look at the people lining the streets! ^_^ the parade route is a long one too, and the whole route is chock full of people!
We watched dances and saw lots of floats and big mascots. :D
~blue people~
Lots of people in the parade waved at us as we took their pictures. :)
Another fun part was when the participants had their lunch break in the middle of the street, so we were able to go talk to them.
~this mermaid was really pretty~
I got a henna tattoo, and so did my friends. It comes off after a week or so :) You can also get your face painted and buy masks and headbands and stuff. ^_^
Look at the cool father and son! :)
We stayed at the parade and we left at around 7:30p.m. The traffic jam was horrible, but it was worth it.
~the lighted street is the parade route. You can't even see where it ends!~
'Til Sinulog 2011! =) my first Sinulog was a blast!
