A look at the origins and history of the Aztec warrior culture that created one of the greatest empires in the Western Hemisphere.
This photo is from the 2nd parade at the Mazatlan Carnival in February 2009 - it goes along the Malecon back into downtown Mazatlan. The parade is pretty comical - the actual parade is preceded by about 20 minutes of floats loaded with gorgeous women riding beer floats waving at the crowds. This photo is from the actual parade. What a very interesting parade!
