Writing under a Montreal sky

This is when Galician folks show off their costumes and bands. I had never heard of this saint despite a good Catholic upbringing. I think I would have remembered à saint who let à wolf eat the donkey carrying his documents because he was busy praying. As soon as he twigged to what had happened, he made the wolf carry the documents!

The gentleman on the left

Is wearing traditional rain gear made of straw! Some gentlemen even had straw gaiters!

The ladies are showing

Their hand made petticoats and even the kids and doggies got into the act!

He had his kerchief
She had her doll!

It was a lovely morning session of people showing off their costumes and small bands marching around without too much rhyme or reason!

Amazing how much noise two bagpipes can make!
Summer look with broad-brimmed hat!
I want a hat like that!
It seems “ pulpo ” is the menu de jour!
