I´m in Montevideo and it´s Carnival Season. Ended up at a street parade yesterday, I think it was the inaugural parade of the Carnival Queen, although I´m not certain. I made it through about half. It was all colouful and that, but five hours of watching people walk past is way more than I could comprehend.
Curiously, before the parade they armed the kids in the street with shaving foam and polystyrene, which meant any dancers, drummers or crossdressers near the edge of the street got tarred and feathered. I´ve heard that the next parade is even crazier. Sadly I´ll miss it, but I´m expecting nail guns and stonings.
