so santa barbara held a fiesta called Fiesta and we attended in all our befuddled and tardy stupor. come to find out the Fiesta parade is the largest horse parade in the country. oh, swell... i just missed the only worthy parade of the year. the event which celebrated latin culture had a hodge-podge of random booths and vendors, good authentic grub, and singers who performed on a grand stand stage. most curiously there were tons upon tons of decorated confetti eggs which could be purchased street side... so naturally we made very good use of this odd attraction, buying several and wielding them over each other's heads, crushing them with a "crash" and generally making a very, very, very colossal colorful mess. what did Fiesta mean to us? easter on 'crack'.
