A crackhead among the mexicans

So this weekend we decided to go to the St. Louis Hispanic Festival. The only problem is that there aren't that many hispanics in St. Louis. The festival was held next to this park with a bunch of homeless people/crackheads. As the mexican band started to play, the crackheads wandered out of the park to investigate. There was one in particular who managed to get his hands on a sombrero. He walked right to the front of the stage and proceeded to dance for the whole hour and a half we were there. It was hilarious. Luckily I had a camera and took some sweet video (see below). Also a highlight were the pork tamales, the the homemade XXX salsa, the fruit empanadas and the agua de horchata. Emily loved watching the mexican ladies
dance and twirl their dresses.
