Carnaval, we call it Mardi Gras, got underway last night with a mini-parade to introduce those chosen to reign over this year's event.

The Queen and her court, protected by huge, green archers.
The real parade, held Sunday and Tuesday nights, features 50+ floats and goes on for hours. Sunday draws a more family oriented crowd and Tuesday brings thousands of local young people.
Check out this video of the loosely organized presentation of the Queen.
