Carnival '09 in
Carnival was honestly unlike anything I have ever experienced before. We boarded the 5 buses headed for Sitges (about 45 minutes outside Barcelona) around 10pm with 500 of our closest American study abroad friends. They basically drop us off in the middle of the beach, hand us each a bottle of champagne, and send us on our way. There were sooooo many people in the most outrageous outfits. Everyone was decked out in bright colors, feathers and masks. Its like a giant block party with people all over, dancing in the streets, etc. We ran down to the water and took lots and lots of pictures! We finally arrive home around 5am, just enough time to grab a couple hours of sleep and head to class. I have never seen the IES classrooms so empty. My Media & Politics teacher called it the "Carnival Effect" and said that 15 people were absent from his earlier class (my class was missing about 10). I'm exhausted but it was definitely worth it! Well, I'm off to bed! Goodnight! Molly
