It's 1 AM: do you know where your children are?

It's the annual village festival in Gueifães, in honour of Nossa Senhora da Saúde (Our Lady of Health) which is a story in itself. Let's just say that so far, there hasn't been anything remotely godly, or reminiscent of the Blessed Virgin Mary: but it's a great excuse for a street party of thousands, with the distinction of being several hundred years old.

We have more photos of the daytime festivities, but we went for a stroll tonight and here is some of what we saw. OK, actually these photos were taken at "only" 11:30 PM, just before a massive 1/2 hour fireworks demonstration, but I'm sure the kiddies are still out there...

I wouldn't normally be writing a blog post or doing anything else at 1 AM, but our bedroom window is only about 200 m. from the main stage and the music shows no sign of abating yet!
