We heard that there would be a Niño Rey parade at 2:30pm on Tuesday starting at San Blas with a pagent held at Parque Calderon. So, off we went with camera in hand. At 2:15pm we are in Plaza San Blas --- the limited evidence of a potential parade is four ponies. But it set our hopes that there would be a parade. We decide to walk to Parque Calderon and people-watch until the parade arrives. Along the way we see children dressed up in costumes, their parents hurrying them toward Plaza San Blas. More evidence pointing that there will be a parade.
At 3:15pm we are rewarded with the sound of a rag-tag marching band. Ecuadorian's love music, even if it is not well executed. Soon the parade arrives at Parque Calderon with many children dressed in costume and a few very happy adults playing instruments or dancing in costume. Overall, a fun experience.
