My hotel room looks out on the Parque de Los Periodistas Gabriel Garcia Márquez. On Tuesday morning, when I looked out, there was a huge marching band massing for some event or another, so I went down and took pictures. Half an hour later I went back down and they were gone. I have no idea what they were up to or where they went.
