Today was the Annual CARNIVAL PARADE in Marino, the town up the road from our campus! It is similar to the USA's Halloween. This festival is celebrated every year on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. This year it just happened to fall on VALENTINES DAY!!! All the children were dressed in costume: princesses, vampires, pirates etc. A few of us went to Marino to see what this parade as all about. We found a box with costumes in it. Some girls decided to dress as HORSES :) I just put on a yellow tutu! There was confetti everywhere, people had floats and even adults dressed up. The craziest part of this was the dancers. I feel the pictures I took are a bit inappropriate to upload, but there were 4 girls dressed in sequin bras and thongs. They had HUGE feathery headpieces and wings on. They were absolutely ridiculous and dancing crazily... I think Dr. Hatlie, the professor that went with us, was extremely embarrassed by this! All in all, this way a LOVELY DAY!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO EVERYONEEE!!!
