Close to 450 lovers, fighters, and soldiers stormed the Esplanade, aka the battlefield, over the weekend for the second annual Revolutionary Water Gun Battle organized by Banditos Misteriosos. There wasn't a dry eye (or leg, or chest, or foot) in the group after the squirt guns fired and the water balloons flew. Our forefathers must be so proud.
