So to start off with. Carnaval was not really what I expected.. well actually. I didn't know what to expect. Suppose I was just thinking people would be partying with crazy hats and whatnot, maybe I was partly right. EVERYONE was partying and going crazy. Haha, yes crazy - a good amount of the mens population were dressed as girls :P which was always a laugh.. anyway.. that's not the point. I didn't know the main part of Carnaval was a massive parade that goes from 9pm-7am-ish. 6 "schools" of people parading for about and hour and half each. This is what went down in Florianopolis anyway, I'm sure there were bigger ones.. Ohhhh oh, and the fireworks before each school were insane. The first ones were the best. So loud I could feel the thump in my chest. Crazy.
[All photos are going up on facebook, Mum and Dad, gonna send you a usb or something..]
This was at the start - check out my sweet green devil horns :D
Just to prove we actually went.. ;)
So it's pretty full on.
I couldn't actually see how far down the parade went - as in, how long the road was..
SO, after this insanely long parade we drove back to Balneario Camboriu, (where I stayed the night before with my host parents) to get my clothes and junk. Then, drove to... I don't actually know where we were.. the carnaval party we went to that night was "Uba Tuba" Though, so maybe that was the name of the town. I'm not sure.. hehe. But the house we stayed at was sweeeeeeet! Right near the beach too :) So chilled. I loved it. Oh, by the way.. I was with Jaky, Sophia and Jaky's host mum... her house.. yeah right. Not writing this out very well.. but.. eh. You get the basic drift.. right? Hope so :)
We went with Jaky's host brother Eduardo (I dunno how to spell it) and his friend and this is what was going down at "Uba Tuba"
Looks pretty cooooool yeah? Well it was. Really. Awesome fun =] There was a band playing on top of this truck thing too, didn't get a pic but.. damn. Once again, I need more words to describe how cool things are here. This party was rad.. yeah, sure, rad. So many people all gathered into one area partying like crazy and blasting music everywhere. OSSUM! It was even still good when it was pouring down rain haha, cause it wasn't cold :) The next day after partying was just chill at the beach, yey! Oh and get covered in black sand and walk around pretending to wonder why people are giving me funny looks.. Oh and bury Sohpia in the sand. Everyone's got to do it once upon a time..
yus I was black - for a while..
Yeah anyway.. so it was all fairly *insert good describing word here* I'm so uncreative. Damn, is that even a word?
