Colorful Music Makers

Zampoña - PictureCasa.org

This instrument is called a pan flute by many.

But by those at the Cinco de Mayo, we know this as a Zampoña.



There is always a lot of music

at the Cinco de Mayo Festival.

But the music isn't always coming from the stage area.

These are just a few of the many creative things

that many of the vendors were selling.

This colorful objects

are only a sample of the great handiworks

found at Detroit's Cinco de Mayo Fiesta.

A Few More Pics of a Few More Cars

You know,
I took so-o-o-o-o many pics
at the Cinco de Mayo Parade.
It's just such a great time.
I honestly look forward to this event each year.
It's one of those things my father instilled in.
You know,
ethnic pride. . .
. . .pride in your cultural heritage.
My father also showed me
how to get involved
and just have fun in the communty!

And that's what I did with my cheap little
digital camera!

Some more photos of Detroit's Cinco de Mayo!
Enjoy!

Heres a photo of

and another person (in background) wearing Boricua Colors.

El Geek Squad

I can highly recommend El Geek Squad,
especially after hearing how tons and tons of credit cards
had their information breached.
I don’t know what sort of security measures
retailers have in place.
But I’m sure they must have something
to protect data processed by wireless.

I called on The Geek squad
when I needed to set up a wireless for my son’s Xbox.
Sure, we could’ve followed the directions and set it up ourselves.
But I’m just technical enough
to know that I’m not technical enough.
We needed security measures in place.
I didn’t want bandwidth bandits stealing, well. . .
. . .bandwidth. . .or anything else.
So, we called on El Geek Squad.

I mean,
you don’t leave your front door closed but unlocked
knowing you’ll be gone all day.
That’s just inviting trouble.
Same goes for your wireless.
It’s not only what could be stolen.
It’s what could be done.
What if someone did something
not so ethical or moral
while using your bandwidth?
You may find yourself in legal hot water.
Please, Protect Your Wireless.

I highly recommend El Geek Squad
for your wireless internet security set-up.

Not only do they do a great job,
but they support community events. .
. . .Like Detroit’s Cinco de Mayo Parade!

. . and don’t you just love those cute little cars?!?
