My old friend, Erica, just came back from the Peace Corp. I haven’t seen her for a year… exactly. The last time she was here, it was for Carnaval: she had taken free drum lessons in years past, and had timed her trip home so she could perform with her class.
I don’t know what excuse I had for missing it last year. Then again, I had a fairly active social life this time last year, so maybe that was it.
But this year, I was out the door by 8:30 am with seven rolls of film and my wonderful new lens. Turns out I didn’t bring enough film. The costumes were breath-taking (and sometimes downright naughty). I couldn’t stop taking pictures. A few, I think, will turn out. I’ll share them in a week or two.
