Megan and I arrived and tried to head to the same spot we watched the first night, but there was no getting through. There were far more people in attendance the second night. Far more energy on both sides of the barricades. We ended up in a great spot, but it was darker and the image quality suffered.
As the night progressed, it hit me that most of this is coming to a close. I hope it's not, but there's always the chance that returning to see, or even be a part of, another Llamadas may not be in the cards.
This post is organized like the last. I've included everything even remotely worth sharing, in order of appearance.

And that's pretty much all, folks. The rest of these show the parade as it made its way on down Isla de Flores, and there's a bad self-taken pic of me to prove I was there.
