If you live in Mexico City and suffer from coulrophobia, it may be best to stay indoors as clowns hit the road to take part in the 16th Latin American Clown Convention. Around  500 clowns will shuffle, juggle, and pirouette their way to the Jimenez Rueda theatre in Mexico City. Most of the participants are from Peru, Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala.
