Last Thursday we were invited by a guy who works for the government at our village, to a carnival close to his village. At the moment all the villages around here have carnivals with dancing, drinking and music. At this village, we started first at one community building where they danced, then they walked along a road through the fields to meet another dancing group from another village. It went on till dark and it all culminated in the dancers throwing things into the audience - things like 3liter soda bottles, watermelons, huge tuna cans, all hurtling towards our heads in the dark! And most of the dancers were drunk. It was crazy! I protected myself behind Andrés and he stood ready to catch anything flying towards him. He only caught something by his leg though, something that came flying down low and hit him. No harm done. But people do get hurt we heard.
The children were also running around with cans of snow spray and filling people's faces with it. See the last picture, where the grown-ups are also going crazy with snow spray.
