I'm sitting at the cathedral again, cafe con leche in hand, and there are all these people dressed in bright orange t-shirts. They all have numbers on their backs. A group of them just entered the plaza, marching and playing drums. I have no idea what's going on! They've also set up a gigantic red ramp leading up the steps of the catedral. I'm assuming it is related. There are flags up that say "La Gran Gymkana del 12." At the bottom of the flag there is a picture of a soldier, and I keep hearing "guerra" (war) in the lyrics of the songs. And a group of orange people just walked by carrying a historical looking stretcher with someone dressed as a soldier on it. I think it has something to do with the Ayuntamiento, but I don't know what it al means....
