Carnaval

San Francisco's Carnaval isn't as long or as wild as Brazil's, but it's definitely colorful. The Bay Area takes any opportunity to have a parade, and it held its own Carnaval parade in the Mission district on Sunday, May 30. Folks of all ages and persuasions took part.
Right in front of us, this guy took time to take his headdress off and rub his itching head before getting back into the throng.

Parade lasted a couple hours before we took off for lunch.
