Guanajuato, Mexico

Your Photo's Dish 

The photos were taken during a parade being held for Guanajuato's Medieval Festival. It was a crazy cool three day event, put on by students from the University of Guanajuato who dressed up (meticulously!) in period costumes, and participated in all the kinds of things one might have seen during a faire hundreds of years ago: sword fighting, lance throwing, damsel rescuing and the works.

  • Don't miss it if you're in Guanajuato in March!
