Preparing dinner

cleaning the pig you heard from the previous post..

This is the chicken we are cleaning for the mornign after where we will host the muscians you heard on the video in teh procession. each house has its turn hosting them to eat. we started cleanign and cooking at 6 at night then woke up at 4 am to continue cooking for an 8 am breakfast. I know that the video is in spanish but its just a basic shoot the shit convo except they are mocking me bc im too scared to slit the chickens throat so my sister does it . i also asked since there are dead chickens on the tabel and the other chicken is right next to him, does the chicken really not have the mental capacity to understand waht is about to happen. response no!

Sr. Milagros Festivities

This is what we put up in front of our house for the Procession of Señor de los Milagros (Lord of Miracles) I will also be DL the videos of the procession!
Night Procession...actually got teary eyed when this happened because while standing next to my sister she goes this is your last Senor de los Milagros Procession ever

This video is of the day procession. They bring the statue of the Lord of Miracles through each street at this insanely slow pace.

My local ACME

This video is of a neighbors store where the community goes to buy their daily supply of meat. I think I speak in both spanish and english here to explain things and that is only so the women in the video didnt think I was crazier then they already believe! But note that no there are no refrigerated meat here it just sits on the counter with all the other food sitting out... sanitary :)

Pig Cries

This is the sound of a pig being slaughtered for the party and bleeding to death. They mostly do this in the dawn of the day to have it ready to sell by 8 am.
