We were on the boat last night trying to decide what to do for dinner. Soon we heard the sound of distant music coming across the water and we knew our destiny was sealed. We hopped into our trusty dinghy in search of the music source. We discover the source was a big party going on in a city square surrounded by eating establishments. There were a couple of blow-up rides for the kids and a music stage all ready to go.
We sat down at a Chinese restaurant table and ordered some food to wait for the show to begin. Gradually more and more dancers of various ages began to show up. It looked like we were in for quite a treat. As you can see in the video the Porto Colomians really know how to party! The place was packed with people and everyone brought the kids.
There was a giant blow up play thing for the kids that had the head of Homer Simpson designed with a moving jaw so it could eat small children. It kind of make you wonder about what they think of American culture.
One gentleman, who I believe was the father of one of the dancers was walking near the edge of the dance floor when a lady (possibly his wife) chased him down with a paper bag and gave it to him. He checked out the bag and shook his head "no" and became visibly distraught. She shook her head "yes" and with a hang-dog look he walked off with the bag.
The gentleman reappreared soon in a Michael Jackson outfit. He took the floor to a great round of applause and the crowd really got into his MJ dance routine. He did not look much happier leaving the floor than he did when he opened the bag. Ah, the things we do for love....
