Today, I hopped on the train to Viareggio, a small beach town north of Florence, to watch their Carnevale parade. The floats were amazing and the town was really quaint. And I had one of the best kebabs I've ever had.
Carnevale is the Halloween of Italy. Everyone was wearing ridiculous costumes, and I felt out of place with only a Venetian mask (though I did feel like one of the singers in the Knife). I searched for a while for the right mask, because I thought some of them were a little tacky. I found a plain black leather one that looked pretty classic and a little creepy. I had to have it. It was a little more expensive, but I'll always have it as a souvenir. And I can use it to decorate my apartment next semester!
Kids were spraying silly string and throwing confetti everywhere. Hours later, I still have some in my hair.
