Carnival en Cadiz




Bon Dia!
This weekend was very interesting. Last minute I planned a trip to Cadiz, which is in south Spain, because Kate and Ciara were no longer coming. In Cadiz, there was a huge party which is known as carnival. Carnival is pretty much just a 10 day celebration of Mardi Gras. My friends and I, along with about 200 other Americas, stayed at a resort about an hour away from downtown Cadiz. It was a super nice hotel that was right on the beach! All of Friday morning and afternoon was spent on the bus, and lets just say it wasn't too comfortable. Friday night the tour agency we booked the trip with rented out a club so that all of us could hang out. Saturday morning we got to BEST free breakfast. fresh creeps! most of the day was spent at the beach, or lounging around the resort.Unfortunately it was rainy, but at least it wasn't cold. Saturday night after dinner we got dressed up in our costumes and loaded the bus. Once we got to downtown Cadiz we stayed in the square most of the night and just talked to a lot of people. Everyone was dressed up in interesting outfit. It was a very interesting experience because it was sort of like Halloween but MUCH bigger. There were tons of people every where. Sunday morning we hung out all day and went to the beach again. Then loaded the bus in the after noon for the long ride back.
This coming week should go by quick, because now that midterms are over there is no work. Spanish schools don't really give homework, its usually just tests and papers that make up your grade.
I hope everyone has a lovely week!
