It should have been a lovely day.

After getting a bite to eat, Cynthia Araujo and her family planned to watch Desfile de la Gente, the final parade in a full weekend of Fiesta de Santa Fe festivities.

Hoping to cheer on some of the younger members of the family — two cheerleaders and a Capital High School football player — as their floats snaked through downtown Santa Fe, the family found a prime viewing location on the northeast corner of the Plaza, near the intersection of Palace and Washington avenues.
