I went out for Carnaval yesterday. That was definitely an experience. Rachel and I didn't go out until 12:15 last night and we saw all sorts of craziness. People were dressed up in all sorts of group costumes, like a family of pirates, a royal family, groups of Waldos (as in "Where's Waldo") the Simpson's and even Futurama characters. There were girls dressed as flies, a couple of people dressed as food pyramids. There were also some really inappropriate costumes, knowing that Spain is not as shy about sexual content. People were out in the street dancing and drinking. If you weren't drinking like crazy, you probably weren't enjoying yourself as much as possible in their eyes. There was one really drunk girl that was being wheeled out of the area who decided to grab onto me on the way out. She was having a really rough time standing or accomplishing much of anything. I did enjoy some chocolate and churros before heading back to the apartment, but of course that couldn't be accomplished without getting my hair dipped in the chocolate or even having us get hit on by two drunk Zorros. As much as I wanted to have chocolate brown hair, I just didn't want to do it that way. I also woke up with a faint smell of smoke in my hair. Yum. Definitely a different experience.
