carnaval

halloween + circus + confetti + silly string + 10 days = Carnaval

(oh, and tons of tourists, closed streets, traffic and big buses)

lots of parades

 and weird floats

i won't lie...

i enjoy "not" buying tickets and getting a 'glimpse'

with all the other cheap skates

and of course, you can buy a "made in china" hello kitty 

or spider man for a small chunk of change

as you can hear from my cynical tone,

Carnaval, in my mind, is not all it's cracked up to be

BUT...

they put on the BEST fireworks show at the end

weather permitting, that will be tomorrow night and i can't wait

it's better than any fireworks show i've ever seen

Nice spares no expense, and it shows

see you all tomorrow night !
