Mardi Gras?

This may have been a Mardi Gras parade. We couldn´t figure out what it was for exactly and no one could tell us. Actually no one knew what Mardi Gras or Lent was. Our contacts are primarly Lutheran, and they don´t celebrate Lent in the one Lutheran church here in Comodoro. We do know that it happens every year at about the same time. What ever the reason they had the parade it was lots of fun with some great drumming and dancing.
