Not sure what it was about, but one section featured small girls in floofy dresses, carefully sprinkling confetti on the road.

Asked some ex-pats for explanation but no one apparently saw it. It was a small parade, the police stopped traffic block by block.

I was really into this Nicaraguan-style people-mover.

A flat piece of white cheese in a tortilla, and I'm pretty sure she told me the sauce was made of lettuce and chicken but I don't really understand how.

The first night I knew nothing about this...just thought of it as the creepy lady being toted around by the kids. More info on Leon's La Gigantona and Enano Cabeza can be found through Google.

Street food behind the cathedral, in front of the central market. Essentially it's everything you can imagine grilled or fried. It's not really as good as it looks, unfortunately, but this lady and her co-worker were really sweet.
