No Vacation is complete without a festa or 2

On Saturday we went to the Newark Bole De Leite. A Bole de Leite is a traditional event in the Portugese culture. In English it is most commonly known as a cow parade, because as part of the Parade there are cows pulling carts with traditional Portugese items. Liliana really enjoyed the animals, she kept pointing at them. Here are some pictures:

I love this picture

From here we went to visit some family friends and then latter went to another festa in Oakdale. We weren't much into the dancing scene so we spent our time and money at the Bazzar. The Bazzar is a game of luck, you choose some rolled up tickets and if those tickets have a number then you when the corresponding prize. By the time we were done with the Bazzar we had won a set of drinking glasses, a teddy bear, a cork board, a cutting board, a bratz doll, and a vase.
