So. There is a holiday here. It is called Carneval. And it involves CONSTANT DANGER WHILE WALKING IN THE STREET!
Danger from what? You might ask. This constant danger comes from the fact that during Carneval, it is perfectly acceptable to "mojarse" which means "Get Wet". So walking down the street, a citizen (or resident-on-a-visa) can be bombarded by water balloons, sprayed by water pistols, chased by children carrying cans of foam, or (worst of all) drenched by passing truckloads of people with huge buckets of water.
They also go and splash in other watery places, like the cascada (waterfall) here.
I'd just like to say, IT IS NOT WARM ENOUGH TO BE WET ALL THE TIME! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS HOLIDAY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

IT SOUNDS AWESOME. today people are acting like it's summer and opening their windows and wearing shorts outside (it's 23 degrees). also, oh my gosh, I AM LEAVING IN THREE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I GET TO SEE YOU IN FOUR DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome holiday! I want to do that in Idaho... Except, it is really cold here so maybe in the summer. I should work on that, Alaska needs to spice things up...
