Sorry this blog has been a LONG time coming but here we go,
March 5, 2011- Carnavales de Cádiz
This is a night of much tomfoolery when basically the entire student population of Sevilla gets on a bus with some sort of travel agency (if they're foreign) or just a city bus (for the natives) and goes to Cádiz for Carnavales.
It's like a mixture between Mardi Gras and Halloween all wrapped up into one city on the coast of Spain. It's a blast! Lyndsey and I dressed up as "Mariposas" or butterflies for my non-spanish speaking friends. We had masks and wings that were adorable, unfortunately, they were not so durable and they broke almost immediately upon arrival. But, Lyndsey and I definitely figured out how to work them in our photos! :)

We had the best bus ever on our way there too! It's approximately an hour and half and after about 10 minutes the radio on the bus stopped working but, we were with a ton of CIEE IBCP people so we were all laughing and having a good time when the back of the bus (us) started to sing popular songs from the US as loud as we could to liven the mood. Leah Grubb started to belt Michael Jackson like it was her job! And she was good! Although, this did not make us friends at the front of the bus. (They were jealous of our fun) There were a couple girls dressed like characters from Avatar who wanted to start a fight. I don't think I'll ever understand why though, we were all just having a good time and they had 3 and we had more than 12. My money would've been on us!
Anyways, we got there and had an amazing time for like 4 hours and then had to turn around and come back but it was awesome! Once we got home Lynds and I shared a taxi and I came strolling in around 7 am when Mercedes was getting ready for work... oops! :)
