"Ole"on the Fourth


A fascinating aspect of parades is to experience customs, listen to music and see dancing from many different ethnic groups. 


The Latino dancers and music at a recent Fourth of July parade in western Massachusetts were colorful and exuberant. 




Oh wow, the dresses the women wore were pleasing to the eye and the dancing was great!


They swirled, twirled and brought smiles to the faces of people in the crowds.

There were people from several different Central and South American countries on the float and dancing along the parade route.

Different colors sizzled.


To me, that was among the most festive and beautiful contingents in the whole parade.  




DO YOU ENJOY LEARNING ABOUT DIFFERENT CULTURES?

That is one thing I miss from the north - Chicago. I don't think they have things like this hear in Georgia. They sure were fun! So pretty and exciting.

Everyone around the world should embrace different cultures because in the end, we are much more alike than we are different ... but it's the cultural differences that make individuals so unique.
