CARNIVAL!!

This week was Carnival, which is a giant drunken celebration of some Christian something that I don't think anyone knows about. The celebration is five days long and it's rediculous. Everyone is dressed up in horrible costumes and people are drinking on the streets at like noon until 5AM. There was a big parade on Saturday which I caught a glance of. A Canadian exchange student, Kathleen, and I went out on Friday and went dancing. It was really fun not too crowed. Then on Saturday I organized a little party at my house for all the exchange students. So we hung out and had a couple beers at my place then we went out. Since it was carnival I had to dress up but I didn'thave much so I wore my short shorts and sunglasses so I guess you could say I was a tennis instructor but whatever. I was cold has all hell. But it was fun. The group ended up getting split into two withing 15 minutes and we didn't see the other half for the rest of the night, they ended up going home after an hour (lame). So it was just four of us dancing until 3Am but it was really fun. So that was carnival, a good first weekend.
