La Dia de La Virgen

This past Thursday, I didn't have class because of the festival of the Virgen of Granada. On this day, the whole city shuts down and everyone goes to the church and brings flowers as an offering to the Virgen.  Greta and I took a little walk over there to check out the festivel but we decide not to offer flowers to the Virgen because the line to the church was literally half a  mile long.  It was actually kind of funny because on our walk to the church, we so no one. Ever store and restaurant was closed and there was seriously nobody around us.  Then we turn on the street the church is one and it was completely packed.  There were flower stands everywhere.  The only stores that were open that day in the whole city were the flower stands and the ice cream stores on the street of the church. It was really interesting to get to experince something like that.  This is a video of some of the music they have to celebrate.
