Carnaval!



Craziness! Here we are celebrating Carnaval (Mardi Gras) at the school in Tierra Linda. There were no computer classes today because of the Fiesta, so we were invited to celebrate with the school instead. They have a crazy tradition of throwing confetti (called pica pica), and smashing hollow eggs filled with pica pica (called cascarones) on people's heads. Often when kids run out of cascarones, they find real eggs to smash on each other. Thankfully there was none of that.

After a lovely program of costume parades, this was the crazy dance party and egg smashing time! The kids went crazy, and thought it was hilarious to smash eggs and throw confetti on our wigs.
