Carnival Parade!

Well, yesterday was the actual parade day for carnvial. BUT...i`m not entirely
postive you could call it a parade...sure they had bleachers set up on one side, and people walking around selling chips and cotten candy....However, since Boliva isn´t exaculty was you would call orginazed the parade had gaps between them of about 25 minutes. And what else to do in between then to wallop the people on the other side with water balloons and spray foam?? And everyone gets it. Mostly since no one is aiming they just throw across the street and hope for the best. I protected a little old lady for a while since she was only about 4 foot 5 and stood right up behind my back and used me as a human shield. Then again if she got hit by a balloon it probley would of knocked her over....The only break from this is when the dancers, musicans and their floats come by. Since they now become the target from EVERYONE....I seriously felt pretty bad for them, could you imagine being at a parade and just whipping water balloones, and spraying fake snow in their faces while their dancing, and playing a tuba??
To be honest I didnt even stay for the entire parade...I stood for about 4 hours, and since I had been dripping wet for about 5 hours (of course I got wet walking there) I was freezing...and I suppose it would be unfair of me to complain since its super cold back home....but actually even when it was -30 back home I wasn´t that cold, It was only about plus 10 out and cloudy, if it was a bright and sunny day it would of been much more pleasent.....I didnt realize how bad it was until I bought some chips and I couldn´t bend my fingers to open the bag....so I shared them to the family that was beside me and shivered my way home....
The funny thing as well in those 4 hours, I think I only saw, hmmm about 8 groups of paraders.
One was a GIANT goat made up of real goat parts...like the head, and was covered in fur. Another was a kids group each dressed in a spiderman costumes and they had a GIANT spider float. And one I got a kick out of was a giant Bart simpson that as they pushed him along his arms pulled his pants down mooning, and all the dancers had bart simpson heads on.
Once I got home dried and warmed I wanted to go out to watch the super bowl...however Knew I was going to get attacked with water again...I had to walk past the spot from that lovely bombardment I wrote about the day before....and with just as many people there again I knew what was going to happen again, so I figured I`d use my assests to my advantage, so I sprinted as fast as I could down the block and didnt get hit once. However when I had to stop at the corner for traffic two boys spray foamed my face....So I watched the superbowl with blurrly painful eyes. But might I say GOOD GAME! I was cheering for the Patriots though...
And now when I leave it begins again...apprently this maddness goes until wednesday....however this gal is all water fought and mostly spray foamed out.
