Carnival!!!

Monday and Tuesday were Carnival days, which is a huge holiday throughout South America. There were stealthy water balloon wars in town and a big parade in the nearby town of Sonare.
At the parade there were floats fron different organizations with music playing and usually some kind of princess sitting on top.
There were also people running around in costumes each emp`hasizing a woman´s breasts or but. They enjoyed going around groping people and making wierd sounds. I believe the idea came from long ago when they would dress horrificly and act ridiculous to make fun of master´s wives.
After the parade there was a big reggaetone concert in the town plaza until about 2 in the morning with tons of people dancing. Hope you enjoyed my brief and undetailed explanation but Im really tired from working. Peace and Love.
