This past weekend was Carnival. It was so fun to go and people watch, observe what was going on and learn what Carnival is all about here in Malta. The festivities started Saturday night, with block parties going on all night. We walked around and watched the dancers performing in huge costumes to traditional Maltese music. There were also marching bands and tons of kids dressed up in costumes. King and Queen costumes seemed to be the most popular, but we also saw familiar characters like Nemo and Dora. Carnival continued Sunday afternoon with the main parade and eating of carnival food. We all had lots of fun observing and taking it all in. It was unlike anything I've ever been to. I think pictures describe it best.
Now I really need to work on my paper. :) Love and miss you all! Take care!
Love,
Audrey
