On Sunday, we attended a Carnivale Parade one town over in Maniago. Carnivale is a festival that occurs before lent in Italy, sort of like our American Mardi Gras, only less crazy, no beads, more confetti, and more kid friendly. It consists of a parade with floats and dancers and lots of confetti and loud music. Everyone is in costume in the parade and in the crowd almost all the children were dressed up too. Very similar to our Halloween, only without trick or treating. The kids had a blast watching the floats go by and dancing along to the most popular song of the day: “Gangnam Style.” (2012 called, they want their song back.) About an hour into it, we started getting cold and restless so we walked to the town square, where all the floats and dancers ended up and grabbed some Vin Brulee (hot spiced wine) and little sugared pastry chip things that came with the wine. All were hungry and tired so home we went but we are looking forward to our small town’s Carnivale parade tomorrow!
