Dia Dos Trabalhadores

Ilha May 1 parade 9

On the morning of May 1st we heard some noise and stumbled upon a May Day parade. We followed the procession to the small town square where speeches were said. Some young school girls interviewed me about why I was there. It was very moving, actually and I'm glad I got these photos, especially of the floats. Here are the teachers union, the healthcare worker's union, and the domestic workers union.
